Marco da Modena was a 15th-century Italian Dominican priest born in Lama Mocogno. A member of the noble Scalabrini family, he dedicated his life to religious service and preaching across various locations in Italy. He eventually served as the prior of the Dominican convent in Pesaro, where he remained until his death in 1498. Known for his penitential spirit, he was later beatified by Pope Pius IX in 1857 through equivalence.
