Bernardino Realino was a 16th-century Italian Jesuit priest known for his extensive ministry in Naples and Lecce. Born into a noble family in Carpi, he initially pursued legal studies in Bologna, eventually earning a doctorate and serving in various municipal roles, including as a judge and tax collector. His life changed after a powerful sermon in Naples inspired him to join the Society of Jesus in 1564. He later became a dedicated preacher, a teacher of catechism, and a founder of a Jesuit college in Lecce.
