Luigi Beltrame Quattrocchi and Maria Corsini
The Quattrocchis in 1905

Luigi Quattrocchi (1880-1951) and Maria Beltrame Quattrocchi (1884-1965) were two married laypeople who became the first couple to be beatified together, in 2001. According to Pope John Paul II, they lived an ordinary life in an extraordinary way. They were buried in the crypt of the Santuario della Madonna del Divino Amore in Rome.

Luigi was born in Catania on January 12, 1880 of Charles and Francesca Beltrame Vita. The second surname was added when Louis was raised (and then adopted) by Stefania and Luigi Quattrocchi, while maintaining a close relationship with his parents. He attended school at Ancona, then moved to Rome, where he lived until his death in the area of Esquiline: In Rome he graduated in 1902 with a thesis on Criminal Law.
