Saint Nicola Saggio, O.M., was an Italian Catholic saint who was a member of the Order of Minims. He was beatified by the Roman Catholic Church in 1786 and was canonized on 23 November 2014.〔Announcement during the consistory of 12 June 12, 2014〕 ==Biography== Nicola Saggio was born on 6 January 1650 in Longobardi, a small town on the Tyrrhenian coast. His parents were Fulvio Saggio, a farmer, and Aurelia née Pizzini. He was the first of five children, followed by the twins Antonio and Domenica, Nicola and finally Muzio. He was baptised as Giovanni Battista Clemente〔(Santi e Beati )〕 on 10 January 1650. His family raised him with high moral and spiritual values. He attended the convent of the Minims, which made him desire the religious life. He was famous as a catechist in Longobardi and in Roman circles. A further change in his spiritual life was recorded in 1683 after a pilgrimage on foot to Loreto to ask the Lord, through the intercession of Mary, for the liberation of Vienna from the Turks.〔P.A.
