Diego Oddi

Giuseppe Oddi was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious - though not a priest - of the Franciscan Order of Friars Minor Capuchin. He felt drawn to religious life after his adolescence and was resolved to become a Franciscan upon seeing the example that Mariano da Roccacasale set. Upon his profession of vows he assumed the religious name of "Diego da Vallinfreda". Oddi was beatified - alongside Mariano da Roccacasale - when Pope John Paul II presided over the late Franciscans' beatification on 3 October 1999.
