A persona of humble origins, he was raised to
sanctity when, after he noticed a slip in the ground and a principle of
landslide, he ran to the village
of Cuasso al Monte (in the proximities
of Varese) suggesting its immediate evacuation. Upon
returning to save his small herd entrusted to him, he met his demise under the
gigantic landfall, but not before rescuing the animals. The fall brought to
light a vein of red porphyry, used for paving and in the construction of
buildings.
Several faith-healings happened after the
invocation of Brancazio’s name and, reckoned as miraculous by the Church’s
authorities, led to his beatification and, in 897, to Sainthood by act of Pope
Theodore II whom, a few days after that, passed away himself.
Original painting: acrylic and oil on canvas, 20x20cm
