Bonaventura Tornielli (1411 - 31 March 1491) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed friar from the Servite Order.[1] Tornielli was born into a noble household and was a noted preacher in which he visited numerous Italian cities such as Florence and Perugia - Pope Sixtus IV held him in high esteem and even named him the "Apostolic Preacher". He also held various positions of leadership within his order.[2][3]

His beatification was approved under Pope Pius X on 6 September 1911.
