Blessed Peter Cambiano Biography
He was the son of a city councilor.
His mother was from a noble family, He was raised in a religious family where he received a good education and early induction to Religious life. Peter had a personal attachment to Our Lady of the Rosary. He joined Dominicans in Italy at 16 years and continued with his studies where he was later ordained at age 25.
He was a renowned preacher in the whole of Northern Italy where he worked to bring the civilians back to church. Peter and two other Dominicans went on a preaching mission in January 1365 through the mountains embedded by Italy and Switzerland.
