Elia Comini

Elia Comini (7 May 1910 – 1 October 1944) was an Italian religious priest of the Salesians of Don Bosco. He served as a teacher after his ordination in two different areas until he returned to his hometown towards the end of the devastating World War II to tend to wounded and displaced people. But the fierce fighting between the Nazis and Allies plus the partisan forces saw Comini and fellow priest (and future Servant of God) Nicola Capelli captured and murdered after the Nazis made accusations of the pair being spies.
