Pietro da Macerata (d. 26 August 1307)[1] was a Franciscan monk in the late 13th century.
[3][4] However, the hostility of the "fratres communes" forced Pietro da Macerata and Clareno to return to Italy, where they were refused by every abbey they approached.
[2] The formation of the new order drew a hostile reaction from the "fratres communes", who even tried to kidnap Fra Liberato.
Fra Liberato thus decided to return to Italy permanently to defend the order before Pope Benedict XI.
However, the inquisitor Tomaso d'Aversa ordered his arrest and Fra Liberato was only able to escape him by retreating to the hermitage of San Angelo della Versa, where he died.
