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. LS in Italian, signed “Giuseppe Sarto Cappellano,” one page, 8 x 11, August 23, 1863. Early and untranslated letter, attesting that his parishioner, Celestina Beghetto, has been ill and destitute for a long time, truly needing the benefit she is requesting, signed at the conclusion as chaplain. Central horizontal and vertical fold, and scattered light toning and soiling, otherwise fine condition.
