Guarino Foscari (c. 1080 - 6 February 1158) was an Italian Catholic Augustinian canon regular and also the Cardinal-Bishop of Palestrina from December 1144 after his relative Pope Lucius II elevated him into the cardinalate.[1]
He is better known as "Guarinus of Palestrina" and is noted for his charitable compassion for the poor of Palestrina.
Pope Alexander III canonized him as a saint of the Roman Catholic of Church in 1159.
