Angelo d'Acri was an Italian Capuchin priest born in 1669 who became a renowned preacher in southern Italy. After an initial struggle to commit to religious life, he joined the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin and eventually gained fame for his powerful sermons in cities such as Naples, Salerno, and Taranto. Known as the "Apostle of the South" and the "Angel of Peace," he was recognized for his spiritual gifts, including visions and bilocation. He died in Cosenza in 1739 and was canonized as a saint in 2017.
