Innocenzo Leonelli (
He first fought in
Protestants[i] in Bohemia and Hungary.[ii][5] In 1620[4] or 1622,[5] after returning from his campaigns, he gave his wealth to the poor and renounced his name; seeking peace, he cloistered himself in the hermitage of Santa Maria Maddalena in Brescia, taking the name of Tiburzio Lazzari.[2] He spent his time with the sick and destitute, providing them with conversation and consolation,[5] and would leave the hermitage only to go begging for alms.[3]
The life of a
il Venerabile.[5]
Two years after his death, the regents of the hospital re-buried him in a tomb of fine marble. The tomb was relocated in 1733 as part of the restoration and improvements made to the temple of Santa Lucia at that time.[7]
