Davide Lazzeretti

Davide Lazzeretti was born on 6 November 1834 near Arcidosso, a small town in the Province of Grosseto in the Italian region of Tuscany.

This continued until 1870 when Lazzaretti created three religiously oriented organizations: the Holy League, the Institute of Penitentiary Hermits and Penitents, and the Society of Christian Families.

He postulated he would become the leader of a Divine Republic consisting of the three Latin peoples of Spain, France and Italy.

On the 18th of August, a few days after the date he predicted the Divine Republic would start, he led a crowd of his followers, dressed in peasant garb to the town, where the local policemen shot him dead.
