Saint Benvenutus Scotivoli (†1282), born in Ancona, Italy, was a Franciscan bishop renowned for his reforms and peacemaking. Educated in law at Bologna under Saint Sylvester Gozzolini, he was ordained a priest and became archdeacon of Ancona. Appointed Bishop of Osimo by Pope Urban IV in 1264, he restored order to a diocese troubled by political strife. He ordained Saint Nicholas of Tolentino and promoted charity, giving his possessions to the poor before his death on March 22, 1282. Canonized by Pope Martin IV in 1284, he is Osimo’s patron saint, celebrated on March 22.
