- Blessed Antonio Lucci (1682–1752) was an Italian Franciscan. He is commemorated on July 26. Born in Agnone, Molise, a city famous for manufacturing bells and copper crafts, he was given the name Angelo at baptism. He attended the local school run by the Conventual Franciscans and joined them at the age of 16. Antonio completed his studies for the priesthood in Assisi, where he was ordained in 1705. Further studies led to a doctorate in theology and appointments as a teacher in Agnone, Ravello and Naples. He also served as guardian in Naples. Elected minister provincial in 1718, the following year he was appointed professor at St. Bonaventure College in Rome, a position he held until Pope Benedict XIII chose him as bishop of Bovino in 1729. The pope explained, "I have chosen as bishop of Bovino an eminent theologian and a great saint. " His 23 years as bishop were marked by visits to local parishes and a renewal of gospel living among the people of his diocese. He dedicated his episcopal income to works of education and charity. At the urging of the Conventual minister general, Bishop Lucci wrote a major book about the saints and blesseds in the first 200 years of the Conventual Franciscans. Antonio studied with and was a friend of St. Francesco Antonio Fasani, who after Antonio Lucci’s death, testified at the diocesan hearings regarding the holiness of Lucci. Antonio was beatified in 1989, three years after Fasani was canonized.

The pope explained, "I have chosen as bishop of Bovino an eminent theologian and a great saint. " Though he had a reputation for being shy and reserved, Lucci's 23 years as bishop were marked by visits to local parishes throughout his diocese and a renewal of gospel living among the people under his care. He dedicated his episcopal income to works of education and charity. At the urging of the Conventual Minister General, Lucci wrote a major book about the saints and blesseds in the first 200 years of the Conventual Franciscan friars. Lucci studied with and was a close friend of St. Francis Fasani, O.F.M. Conv. , who, after Lucci’s death on 25 July 1752, testified at the diocesan hearings regarding the holiness of Lucci's life. Lucci was beatified in June 1989 by Pope John Paul II, three years after Fasani himself had been canonized. His feast day is observed on 24 July by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Foggia-Bovino (after a merger of the two in the late 20th century) and among the Conventual Franciscans friars.
