Nicola Saggio was a 17th-century Italian monk belonging to the Order of Minims. Born in Longobardi in 1650, he initially worked in agriculture due to his family's limited means. Despite initial resistance from his parents, he pursued a religious vocation and joined the Franciscan Minims at the monastery in Paola. Throughout his service in various locations, including Rome, he was recognized for his spiritual devotion and commitment to his order.
