Saint Giuseppe Allamano, IMC (21 January 1851 – 16 February 1926) was an Italian Catholic priest who established the Consolata Missionaries (I.M.C.)

Allamano also served as the rector of the Santuario della Consolata and transformed the shrine into a source of spiritual renewal for the faithful.

[4] Allamano also responded to requests for spiritual and material comfort of Turin supporting various social initiatives and promoting the Catholic newspapers.

[6] Due to the increasing size of the Christian population, it became quite clear that there were not enough priests and brethren to cater to the pastoral needs of the people.

Pope John Paul II proclaimed on 13 May 1989 that Allamano be made Venerable after he recognized that the late priest had lived a life of heroic virtue.

On 7 February 1996, in the Amazon rainforest, Sorino Yanomami, a Cape Verde indigenous man, who was attacked by a jaguar suffered brain injury.

After a Boa Vista neurosurgery coupled with his congregation's novena for the intercession of Blessed Allamano, Yanomami survived.

On 23 May 2024 Pope Francis, after meeting with Prefect Marcello Semeraro of Dicastery for the Causes of Saints, recognized this as the second miracle and issued a Decree convening a Consistory of Cardinals to deliberate Allamano's canonization.
