S.Giulia della Rena in Rome

She was born in Tuscany, near Certaldo, around 1320, a family of noble origin, but decayed. Orphaned at a young age, he entered the service of Tinolfi in nearby Florence, where, coming into contact with the Augustinians and their spirituality, dressed, not yet twenty years old, the age-old habit of the Augustinians. Feeling brought to a choice of more radical and austere life, in the full flower of his life, he decided to leave the city and take refuge in a lonely place. He returned to Certaldo taking accommodation in a small room at the Augustinian church of SS Michael and James. Were previously open two small windows, one corresponding to the church to attend religious functions, the other outwards to receive the food that would have sent the popular piety. He placed a crucifix on a wall, and then, solemnly, a construction worker outside the walled entrance.

Never leave his little "hermitage". Like the inmates, segregated from the world will live for a period of about thirty years, going way down the long road of asceticism and mysticism. Penance and prayer will be his daily chores. To keep her alive thought the peasants of Certaldo and surroundings. It tells the popular tradition that the children ran to his aid many, bringing them something to eat and Julia, grateful and smiling, they reciprocate with fresh flowers all year round. Nothing more is known about her except that he was much revered by his countrymen for the life of piety lived before their eyes. He died around the year 1370. His cult developed immediately after his passing, because already in 1372 was the dedication of an altar in the same church where she had lived and where he had buried her body. Since 1506, the town contributed to Certaldo party in honor of the Blessed, whose protection was attributed to several times the release from infection and plague. His mortal remains are venerated in the church of Sts Certaldo Michael and James, who was once the Augustinians. His worship from time immemorial was confirmed by Pius VII in 1819. He was born in choirs, in Latium, in the first half of 1300. He joined as a young man in the room between the Augustinian convent of St. Augustine, became Prior and later distinguished himself for his dowry of preacher and the spirit of penance. As he left us a short but lively praise the famous compatriot Ambrose Massari, who was Prior General of the Augustinian Order from 1476 to 1485 and was related to 1ui.
He died in 1392.

His cult was approved by Leo XIII, February 1, 1888. Peter Becchetti consecrated to the Lord in the convent of St. Augustine in Fabriano (Ancona) in sec. XIV. His life of prayer, study of Scripture and theology and preaching becomes the Order, organized a few years ago (1226) as a mendicant order, example and lifestyle.In 1385 he studied in Padua for the degree of player in 1388 and teaches at the University of Rimini Augustinian, Master of Sacred Theology, he was appointed professor in Venice. From this city undertakes a pilgrimage to Jerusalem for his singular devotion to the passion of the Lord. Back in Fabriano built near the church of the Augustinians a chapel similar to the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem. On 20 February 1421 the Father General Bartholomew wrote him a letter from Venice. He died in Fabriano and his mortal remains, along with those of his cousin b. John, are exposed for public veneration of the faithful in the church of St. Augustine. Pope Gregory XVI confirmed the cult of the cousins ??Bb. Peter and John Becchetti and the Augustinian Order in 1835 commemorates them on June 2.
