Peter Martyr Vermigli
Voting period ends on 26 May 2016  at 22:15:46 (UTC) Pietro Vermigli by Hans Asper.jpg was a 16th century Florentine theologian whose work as a church reformer led him to flee Catholic Italy for northern Europe. The Latin poem, probably by Rudolf Gwalther, translates as: "Florence brought him forth, Now he wanders as a foreigner and pilgrim
 * That he might forever be a citizen among those above.

This is his likeness; the writings conceal his mind; ]]
 * Integrity and piety cannot be represented by art."
