Matteo Farina

Matteo Farina (19 September 1990 – 24 April 2009) was an Italian Roman Catholic. Farina spent his entire life in Brindisi where he was an excellent student who developed a passion for science and for music (which came from his father) and who was noted for his devotion to Pio of Pietrelcina and Francis of Assisi, as well as to other saints who were close to him in age.

Life Matteo Farina was born on 19 September 1990 in Avellino (the birthplace of his paternal grandfather) as the second of two children born to Miky Farina (a bank clerk) and Paola Sabbatini (a housewife); his elder sister was Erika whom he was close to. Farina was baptized on 28 October in the Ave Maris Stella parish church in Brindisi where the Farina's lived. The postulator for this cause is Francesca Consolini.

The Brindisi-Ostuni Archdiocese investigated a miracle attributed to Farina's intercession from 7 November 2018 until 21 March 2019 with all the relevant interrogatories and medical evidence presented to the CCS following that investigation.
