Tommaso da Cori (4 June 1655 - 11 January 1729) - born Francesco Antonio Placidi - was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member of the Order of Friars Minor who lived as a hermit for much of his religious life.[1] He gained fame as a noted preacher throughout the region where his hermitage was located and for this became known as the "Apostle of the Sublacense".[2][3]
His beatification was celebrated under Pope Pius VI on 3 September 1786 and was beatified two centuries later in Saint Peter's Square on 21 November 1999 under Pope John Paul II.
