Blessed Angelo Carletti di Chivasso, born in 1411 in Chivasso, Italy, was a man of extraordinary intellect, compassion, and humble service. A brilliant theologian and a priest of the Franciscan Order, he dedicated his life to teaching, guiding souls, and offering wise counsel to rulers, clergy, and the poor alike. His work and example continue to inspire those who seek truth, justice, and mercy in their personal and public lives.

Angelo Carletti is best known for his great theological work, the “Summa Angelica”, a moral guide that helped confessors and judges navigate the complexities of ethical dilemmas with compassion and clarity. But his gifts were not confined to books. With deep humility, he walked among the poor, cared for the sick, and brought the light of Christ to the streets of his hometown and beyond.

His wisdom was so widely recognized that he was called upon to mediate disputes between cities and political factions. Instead of using his knowledge for personal gain, Blessed Angelo used it to bring about peace and reconciliation, following the example of Christ, the Prince of Peace. He balanced deep contemplation with tireless action, offering his life as a bridge between God and a troubled world.

After his holy death in 1495, God confirmed his sanctity through the incorrupt state of his body, which remains a quiet sign of his pure and faithful life. Pilgrims continue to visit his resting place, seeking his intercession for wisdom in decision-making, justice in leadership, and peace in troubled hearts.
