Born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto in 1835, Pius X served as pope from 1903 until his death in 1914. Known for his conservative, anti-modernist philosophies, he became, in 1954, the first pope to be elevated to sainthood since Pius V in 1712. ALS in Italian, signed “Giu Card Sarto,” one page, 4.25 x 3.25, August 24, 1893. Neatly penned untranslated letter to Vincenzo Figallo. Uniform toning and a few light spots, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope addressed in Sarto’s hand.
