Vincent Strambi was an Italian Passionist priest and bishop who lived from 1745 to 1824. Born in Civitavecchia, he eventually served as the Bishop of Macerata-Tolentino starting in 1801. Despite his delicate health, which initially led the order's founder to doubt his stamina, he became a dedicated member of the Passionists. He was recognized for his powerful preaching and his commitment to the ascetic traditions of his order, even after ascending to the episcopacy. He is remembered for his charitable devotion to the poor and his steadfast resistance to Napoleonic decrees.
