BLESSED GABRIEL FERRETI
Blessed Gabriel, surnamed Ferreti (Feretti) was descended from a noble family in Ancona and entered the Order of the Friars Minor, where, even during his lifetime, he acquired the reputation of a saint. As Provincial of the March of Ancona, he also contributed to the spread of his order. He died on November 12, 1456 at an old age. Pope Benedict XIV allowed his own office in his honour. (But., El.)
