Agostino Roscelli was a 19th-century Italian priest dedicated to supporting vulnerable populations in Genoa. Born in 1818, he overcame a difficult childhood spent tending sheep to pursue his vocation through the help of benefactors. Throughout his ministry, he focused on providing education and vocational training to disadvantaged youth and women, aiming to prevent crime and poverty. He eventually established the Institute of Sisters of the Immaculate Conception to formalize the mission of his collaborators, leaving a lasting social and spiritual legacy in the Liguria region.
