San Bonaventura bishop

San Bonaventura da Bagnoregio, known as Giovanni Fidanza, born in Civita di Bagnoregio in 1221 and died in Lyon on July 15, 1274, was an Italian religious, philosopher and theologian.

He practiced the profession of teacher at the Sorbonne in Paris and was in close friendship with Saint Thomas Aquinas.


During his life he held the positions of Bishop and Cardinal, after his death he was canonized and declared Doctor of the Church.

He was considered one of the most important biographers of Saint Francis of Assisi, for seventeen years, starting from 1257, he was general minister of the Franciscan order, of which he is considered almost as a second founder.

Bonaventura's philosophy started from the preliminary conception that all knowledge originates from the senses, affirming that the soul knows God and itself without help from the outside.


Venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church, his memory is celebrated on July 15th.
