P. Marella, Padre dei Poveri, bassorilievo, Bologna, 2019.“Olinto Marella (14 June 1882 - 6 September 1969) was an Italian Roman Catholic priest who exercised his pastoral service in the Archdiocese of Bologna. Marella was a classmate of Pope John XXIII in Rome and the pope held him in high esteem and supported his pastoral initiatives.”Marella had a complicated relationship to the church. Trained as a theologian, he spent most of his career helping the poor in Bologna. He has been through the initial stages of beatification, and his followers are eagerly awaiting the miracles needed to declare him a saint. -- source link
