- Profile
- Even as a child he showed signs of divine favours, but as he grew up he ignored them.
Led a wild, dissolute and even sacriligeous life as a young man.
He eventually repented and came back to the Church, and did penance for his earlier life by all the important European shrines on foot.
He then returned to Siena and joined the Dominicans.
Died tending plague victims in Siena.
