Anthony Neyrot was a 15th-century Italian Dominican priest who was later recognized as a blessed martyr. Born in Rivoli, he studied in Florence under Antoninus of Florence before serving in Sicily and Naples. During a sea voyage to Naples, he was captured by Barbary corsairs and taken to North Africa. After initially renouncing his Catholic faith to secure better treatment while in Tunis, he eventually decided to return to his original religious convictions, which led to his execution.
