Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests.

'''Pompilio Maria Pirrotti''' (29 September 1710 – 15 July 1766), born '''Domenico Michele Giovan Battista''', was an Italian [[Roman Catholic]] [[priest]] and a professed member of the [[Piarists]]. He operated across the [[Kingdom of Naples]] as a teacher and as a preacher and he received widespread criticism from detractors that led to his immediate expulsion from the kingdom at the behest of the King. He was later readmitted into the kingdom after public pressure.<ref name=SEB>((cite web|url=http://www.santiebeati.it/dettaglio/62750|title=Saint Pompilio Maria Pirrotti|publisher=Santi e Beati|date=|accessdate=10 February 2016))</ref>

Pirrotti assumed the name of '''Pompilio Maria of Saint Nicholas''' upon becoming a professed member of the order and assumed his deceased brother's name (Pompilio Maria) when he commenced his novitiate.

In 1890, [[Pope Leo XIII]] beatified him and [[Pope Pius XI]] proclaimed him to be a saint of the Roman Catholic Church on 19 March 1934.

==Life==
Domenico Michele Giovan Battista Pirrotti was born on 29 September 1710 as the sixth of eleven children to the nobleman Girolamo Pirrotti and Orsola Bozzuti - his father was a Doctor of Law. One brother was named Pompilio Maria Pirrotti. He was baptized the following 30 September.

Despite the opposition of his parents when he was sixteen, he consulted with his confessor on his religious vocation and fled his parents' home. He travelled to [[Benevento]] in order to pursue a path in a religious order. His father wrote to him a moving letter explaining his position on the matter and asking for his son's forgiveness; Girolamo also gave Pirrotti his blessing for his son's future.

At the age of eighteen, he entered the [[Piarists|Piarist]] order and assumed the name of "Pompilio Maria" in honor of his dead brother of that same name. The name 'Pompilio' derives from the Medieval Latin 'Pompilius,' meaning 'fifth born'. Perhaps the most famous person with that name was Numa Pompilius, who was the legendary second King of Rome, succeeding Romulus. After entering the order, Pompilio toured various Italian regions close to his hometown during his religious formation. He assumed the habit in the novitiate of Santa Maria di Caravaggio in [[Naples]] on 2 February 1727, and at the end of the first year of his novitiate, obtained a special dispensation allowing for him not to proceed into the second; he made his solemn profession on 25 March 1728 in [[Brindisi,]] and it was then that he changed his name to that of "Pompilio Maria of Saint Nicholas".<ref name=SEB/><ref name=CO>((cite web|url=http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=5539|title=St. Pompeius Maria Pirrotti|publisher=Catholic Online|date=|accessdate=10 February 2016))</ref>

Pirrotti was sent to [[Chieti]] in order to continue his philosophical studies, but fell ill around this period. He believed that a change of climate would be to his benefit so was moved to [[Melfi]] in [[Potenza]] where he continued his studies. He later travelled for further studies in [[Turi, Apulia|Turi]] in [[Bari]] in 1733 after recovering from his illness. It was there in Bari that he served as a teacher of literature.<ref name=SEB/> Pirrotti returned to Naples where he was assigned to a Piarist house in Lecce as its superior and the Master of Novices.<ref name=CO/>

Pirrotti was [[ordained]] to the [[priesthood]] on 20 March 1734 from the [[Archbishop of Brindisi]] Andrea Maddalena. He was stationed in Brindisi from 1736 to 1739 and was in [[Ortona]] from 1739 to 1742.<ref name=SEB/>

During the famine that occurred near his hometown in 1765, he was on hand to distribute bread to the poor and to those suffering the most from the famine. He became known as a saint in his hometown and in the surrounding areas and was known for his strong Marian devotion to the [[Blessed Virgin Mary]] whom he dubbed "Mamma Bella". Pirrotti also had a strong devotion to the [[Sacred Heart of Jesus]] and spread the devotion of the [[Via Crucis]]. He also established the "Charity of God" as a means of spreading the Christian virtues and also to support the dying.

From 1747 he began to suffer persecutions from detractors which led to him being suspended from hearing [[Reconciliation (theology)|Reconciliation]] on the orders of the Cardinal [[Archbishop of Naples]] Antonio Sersale. [[King Charles III of Spain|King Charles III]] later signed a decree that led to Pirrotti's expulsion from the Kingdom of Naples; he rescinded the order upon increasing public pressure.<ref name=CO/>

On 15 April 1765, Pirrotti began the long journey to [[Ancona]] and arrived in [[Lecce]] on 12 July 1766. After celebrating Mass on 13 July, he went to hear confessions, but was suddenly taken ill and immediately confined to his bed. He died and was buried where he was, in [[Apulia]]; but in 1966 his remains were transferred to the Sanctuary created for him, Santuario San Pompilio Maria Pirrotti.<ref name=CO/>

==Legacy==
There is a Catholic church in Montecalvo Irpino, Italy, which is located in the Archdiocese of Benevento and is dedicated to St. Pompilio Maria Pirrotti. On 2 July 2006, a park in Campi Salentina was named in his honor. A "Pompiliano Year" was initiated in 2010 to commemorate the third centenary of his birth; in August 2010 his remains were briefly moved to his birthplace for the commemorations that took place in his hometown.((cn|date=August 2023))

==Sainthood==
The proceedings for sainthood commenced in a diocesan process in Leece in 1835 and formal assent to the cause was granted not long after in which Pirrotti was accorded with the title [[Servant of God]]. Another process opened sometime after with the same intent of collecting documentation and material for compiling a large dossier on his life and works which was later transferred to the [[Congregation for the Causes of Saints|Congregation of Rites]].

On 17 November 1878 he was proclaimed to be [[Venerable]] after [[Pope Leo XIII]] recognized that the late priest had lived a model life of [[heroic virtue]]. The same pope celebrated his beatification on 26 January 1890 after he recognized two miracles attributed to Pirrotti. The pope later issued a decree allowing for the resumption of the cause on 4 December 1892.

Following the recognition of two other miracles [[Pope Pius XI]] canonized Pirrotti as a saint of the Roman Catholic Church on 19 March 1934.((citation needed|date=August 2017))

== Family ==
Domenico Pirrotti was born in [[Montecalvo Irpino|Montecalvo]], Italy on September 29, 1710, the sixth of the eleven children of Jerome and Donna Pirrotti. His father was a lawyer and was of the noble class. At the age of 16, he left home and joined the Piarist fathers in [[Benevento]].
