Saint Charles of Sezze (†1670) was an Italian professed religious from the Order of Friars Minor. He became a monk despite the opposition of his parents, who wanted him to become a priest, and led an austere life doing menial tasks such as acting as a porter and gardener. He was highly esteemed across the Lazio region, with noble families praising him and seeking his counsel, as did popes such as Innocent X and Clement IX. He was beatified in 1882 and canonized in 1959 by Pope John XXIII. His feast is celebrated on 6 January.
