In the School of Saint Augustine

Angelo Scarpetti was born between 1230 and 1240, most likely in Sansepolcro, the Tuscan town where he lived and died. According to established tradition, in 1254 he entered the convent of the Bonite hermits of Sansepolcro, who followed the Rule of Saint Augustine. This community became involved in the great process of unifying eremitical movements promoted by Pope Alexander IV which, in 1256, led to the foundation of the Order of the Hermits of Saint Augustine.
