Of the seven holy founders of the Order of the Servants of Mary, namely Bonfilius, Bartholomew, John, Benedict, Gerard, Ricoverus and Alexis, who, formerly merchants of Florence, gave themselves to Blessed Mary on Monte Senario by common consent, establishing an Order under the Rule of Saint Augustine.
