Tony Evangelista has been carrying around a photo of his distant cousin in his wallet for decades. Last weekend, his distant cousin Nunzio Sulprizio was among the seven men and women elevated to sainthood on Oct. 14. Evangelista, who owns Il Posto Italian Restaurant in Bergen Beach, refers to his cousin as “the beato,” which means blessed in Italian.
Blessed Nunzio Sulprizio has now been canonized, and appropriately so during the Synod of Bishops on young people, the faith and vocational discernment. Nunzio was only 19 when he died. He was born on April 13, 1817 in Pescosansonesco, Pescara, Italy, and was orphaned early. He then lived with a violent uncle who often beat him.
