Andrew Corsini, O.Carm. (1302 – January 6, 1373), was an Italian Carmelite friar and bishop of Fiesole, who is honored as a saint within the Catholic Church. ==Biography== Corsini was born in Florence on November 30, 1302, a member of the illustrious Corsini family. Wild and dissolute in youth, he was startled by the words of his mother about what had happened to her before his birth, and, becoming a Carmelite friar in his native city, began a life of great mortification. He studied at Paris and Avignon. On his return, Corsini became the "Apostle of Florence". He was regarded as a prophet and a wonderworker. After being elected to the office of Bishop of Fiesole, which he did not want, he fled. He was discovered by a child at the Charterhouse at Enna, and was subsequently compelled to accept the honour. Corsini redoubled his austerities as a bishop, was lavish in his care of the poor, and was sought for everywhere as a peacemaker, notably at Bologna, whither he was sent as papal legate to heal the breach between the nobility and the people. After twelve years in the episcopacy, Corsini died in his native Florence in 1373, at the age of 71. In 1675, after his canonization, the members of the Corsini family had the Corsini Chapel built in the Carmelite Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Florence to provide his remains a more suitable resting place. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrew Corsini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
