Antonio Pietro Cortinovis

Antonio Pietro Cortinovis, religious name Cecilio Maria da Costa Serina, was a Lombard from the Capuchin friar. He had set his heart on entering the religious life despite his initial reluctance due to him pondering on his unworthiness. This belief manifested in his childhood which motivated him to decide against entering the priesthood. But his religious formation in the order was pushed back due to World War I and he was unable to make his perpetual vows until the war had concluded.
