Blessed Angelo Paoli (1 September 1642 - 20 January 1720) - born Francesco - was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member from the Carmelites.
Paoli became known as the "father of the poor" due to his strong charitable outreach towards those who were poor and sick and he even received praise from a number of cardinals and other prelates while living in Rome.
This extended to his friend Cardinal Saint Giuseppe Maria Tomasi and Paoli even received praise from Pope Innocent XII and Pope Clement XI who both offered him the cardinalate despite refusals.Paoli's beatification was celebrated on the morning of 25 April 2010 in the Basilica di San Giovanni Laterano; Archbishop Angelo Amato presided over the solemn celebration on the behalf of Pope Benedict XVI.
