- Marcello Candia (27 July 1916 – 31 August 1983) was an Italian Roman Catholic industrialist and entrepreneur who became active in the missions in Brazil. He worked to protect Jewish people during World War II and was involved in preventing their deportation by the creation of new documents that would save the Italian Jews' lives by making pass them as non-Jewish Italians, in particular for kids by hiding them in homes and industries or helping them to safety relocate to the UK or America.In 1950, at his father's death and at the end of WWII, Marcello Candia assumed full management of his family chemical industrial factory headquartered in Milan with full control of its operation across Italy. After experiencing the world devastation of WWII, Marcello developed a deep awareness for the plight of the poor people, concern that prompted him to sell his factory in 1964 (creating a rift with his younger brother Riccardo) and moved to Brazil to assist the people in need living in the Amazons. In Brazil he worked for the needs of the poor, supporting social justice initiatives and the work of the local charities. Candia was subject to suspicion in the beginning from those missionaries who were confused at someone from a rich background coming to serve the poor as a poor man. He shrugged off those suspicions and considered himself a disciple of the poor who wished to alleviate their suffering and social conditions. His main concern was the construction of a hospital in Macapá, Brazil, to be managed for the assistance of the poor. The construction started in 1961 and concluded at the decade's end when it was inaugurated in 1971. He also opened a center outside the town he lived in for lepers and worked with them until the end of his life. Candia's health grew worse over time despite his exhaustive work standards which led to several health crises leading to his death back in his native homeland where he had made annual visits. (en)
