Blessed Vincent Romano, also called Vincenzo Dominico Romano, (3 June 1751 - 20 December 1831) was born in Torre del Greco, Naples, Italy. Vincent was a parish priest of the village of Herulano who was noted for his very simple way of life and his care of orphans. He was oppressed by French invaders in his area, and also by some Italian political groups. [http://saints.sqpn.com/saintv51.htm]
