Biography

Francesco Racanelli was born in 1904 in Sannicandro di Bari, Puglia, Italy.[1] He believed that he possessed a gift which, much later in his life, he called "bio-radiant energy", and that there was a "vital fluid" which "emanated" from "particularly gifted people".[2] He began to practice on people. As a result, he was prosecuted for the illegal practice of medicine. To avoid further legal problems, he studied medicine[3] and qualified as a doctor. He worked as a healer and lecturer in Florence. He treated wounded people in Florence during the Liberation of Italy.[4]

Francesco Racanelli died in Orbetello, in 1978.
