Francesco Lippi

[1] He lived his life as a soldier before suffering the loss of sight at which point his healing led him down the path of repentance and into the Carmelites.

[2] He spent his dissolute adolescence as a soldier that indulged in vices and his outfit captured Sarteano from the Orvientani.

[4] He offered to change his life if he was healed which, according to tradition, occurred after requesting the intercession of Saint James.

[1][2] He travelled on a pilgrimage to Campostella and to the Basilica di San Nicola in Bari to visit the tomb of Saint Nicholas.

[1] The confirmation of the late Lippi's 'cultus' (or popular devotion) allowed for Pope Clement X to approve his beatification in 1670.
