Blessed Leopoldo da Gaiche OFM Cap. (†1815),was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member of the Order of Friars Minor called the "Apostle of Umbria", who became well known for wearing a crown of thorns. He was a preacher who went from diocese to diocese and served in a position of power in the Capuchin order in the Umbrian region in which he pushed for strong adherence to the Rule of Saint Francis of Assisi. His beatification cause started earlier than was the norm due to miracles being done at his tomb and Pope Leo XIII beatified him on 12 March 1893 after the verification of two miracles. His feast day is celebrated on April 2nd and he is a venerated as the holy patron of preachers.
