Yellow Gold Medal of St. Philip NeriSan Filippo Neri was a presbyter and educator revered as a saint by the Catholic Church. Florentine by origin, he moved to Rome when he was still very young, where he decided to devote himself to his evangelical mission in a corrupt and dangerous city, so much so that he received the nickname "second apostle of Rome". Because of his joker character, he was also called the 'saint of joy' or the 'jester of God'.
