Ferdinando Maria Baccilieri was an Italian priest of the Servite Order who lived from 1821 to 1893. Born in Finale Emilia, he served the Catholic Church through his ministry in the Bologna region, where he notably revitalized a struggling parish in Galeazza. He is recognized for his extensive work as a spiritual director and his dedication to the poor and orphaned. Following his death in Crevalcore, his reputation for holiness led to his beatification by Pope John Paul II in 1999.
