Saint Andrea Corsini (30 November 1302 – 6 January 1374) was an Italian Roman Catholic prelate and professed member from the Carmelites who served as the Bishop of Fiesole from 1349 until his death.
Corsini led a wild and dissolute life until an encounter with his mother moved him to go to the Santa Maria del Carmine church where he became resolved to join the Carmelites as a priest and friar.
He exercised various roles in the order until he accepted with reluctance his episcopal position where he was resolved to impose greater mortifications upon himself and dedicate himself to the plight of the poor.Devotion to the late bishop became so profound after his death that even miracles were reported at his tomb after his death.
The longstanding and popular devotion to Corsini led to Pope Eugene IV confirming his beatification on 21 April 1440 and Pope Urban VIII canonizing him as a saint on 22 April 1629.
