Born into aristocracy on 9 March 1568, Aloysius de Gonzaga traded titles for the Society of Jesus. While studying at the Roman College, he threw himself into caring for those struck by a serious epidemic tearing through the city. The work killed him on 21 June 1591, still a student, still young. The Church beatified him in 1605 and declared him a saint in 1726, long after the epidemic had passed into memory.
