이탈리아 볼로냐(Bologna)의 좋은 집안에서 태어나 훌륭한 교육을 받았던 마르코 판투치(Marcus Fantucci)는 26세의 나이로 작은 형제회에 입회하여 서약을 하였다. 그는 3년 후에 몬테 콜롬보 수도원의 원장으로 임명되었으나, 그의 설교가 뛰어났으므로 카피스트라노(Capistrano)의 성 요한(Joannes, 10월 23일)으로부터 관구 밖에서도 설교할 수 있는 권한을 받았다. 두 번씩이나 관구장을 역임한 그는 후에 총장까지 되었다. 그는 여러 가지 개혁운동을 일으켜 설립자의 정신을 회복시키려고 애를 썼고, 터키에 포로가 된 회원들을 구출하려고 끊임없는 노력을 경주하였다. 그는 교황 바오로 2세(Paulus II)가 그를 추기경으로 임명하려는 눈치를 채고 시칠리아(Sicilia)로 잠적한 적이 있다. 그는 피아첸차(Piacenza)에서 사순절 선교활동을 하던 중에 병을 얻어 운명하였다. 그에 대한 공경은 1868년에 승인되었다.

Martirologio Romano: A Piacenza, beato Marco Fantuzzi da Bologna, sacerdote dell’Ordine dei Minori, insigne per la pietà, la prudenza e la predicazione. Marco, (Bologna, 1405 circa - Piacenza, 10 aprile 1479) a venticinque anni circa, dopo un brillante curriculum universitario nell'ambito delle arti liberali, entrò tra i Frati Minori Osservanti nel convento di San Paolo in Monte. Infaticabile servo della Parola, predicò un famoso quaresimale in San Petronio (1455) e si dedicò alla predicazione popolare ispirandosi ai grandi modelli del tempo, quali san Bernardino da Siena, san Giovanni da Capestrano, san Giacomo della Marca. Fu araldo della Parola in varie parti d'Italia, come Norcia, Mantova, Milano, Firenze, Bologna. Eletto per tre volte Vicario Generale dell'Osservanza Cismontana (1452-1455; 1464-1467; 1469-1472), operò con fermezza e carità evangelica per salvaguardare il movimento riformatore francescano visitando vari conventi in Europa, in Oriente e in Terra Santa. A Bologna promosse la fondazione del Monastero del Corpus Domini e la nascita del Monte di Pietà. Morì a Piacenza, dove aveva svolto la predicazione quaresimale. Le sue spoglie mortali sono custodite nella chiesa di S.Maria di Campagna. Il culto, diffuso già da quattro secoli, fu confermato da Pio IX nel 1868. _______________________

April 10 AMONGST the Franciscan leaders of the fifteenth century a special place must be assigned to Bl. Mark Fantucci of Bologna, to whom was mainly due the preservation of the Observance as a separate body when it seemed on the point of being compulsorily merged into the Conventual branch. After having received an excellent education to fit him for the good position and large fortune to which he was left sole heir, he had given up all his worldly advantages at the age of twenty-six to receive the habit of St Francis. Three years after his profession, he was chosen guardian of Monte Colombo, the spot where St Francis had received the rule of his order. So successful was he in converting sinners that he was given permission to preach outside his province by St John Capistran, then vicar general of the Observants in Italy. He was able to execute a long-cherished plan to form a convent of Poor Clares in Bologna. St Catherine of Bologna came with some of her nuns from Ferrara to establish it, and found in Bl. Mark one who could give her all the assistance she needed. He visited as commissary all the friaries in Candia, Rhodes and Palestine, and on his return to Italy he was elected vicar general for the second time. Never sparing himself he undertook long and tiring expeditions to Bosnia, Dalmatia, Austria and Poland, often travelling long distances on foot. Pope Paul II wished to make him a cardinal, but he fled to Sicily to avoid being forced to accept an honour from which he shrank. Bl. Mark is very fully dealt with under different years in Wadding’s Annales Ordinis Minorum; and a summary account may be found in Mazzara, Leggendario Francescano, vol. i (1676), pp. 431—440. See also Léon, Aureole Seraphique (Eng. trans.), vol. ii, pp. 1—13. Sundry letters and other references have been published by Faloci Pulignani in his Miscellanea Francescana, vol. xiv (1913), and also in the Archivum Franciscanum Historicum, vol. xxi (1928). Fr Mark is said to have been one of the founders of monti di pietà to combat oppression of the poor by usury.
