Conrad of Piacenza was a 14th-century Italian priest and Franciscan tertiary who lived as a hermit. Born into a noble family in Calendasco around 1290, he reportedly abandoned his aristocratic life to pursue a path of penance and solitude. After traveling through Rome, the Holy Land, and Malta, he eventually settled in Sicily. He is recognized as a saint and a wonderworker, remembered for his austere lifestyle and his service to the sick in the region of Noto.
