Luigi Rocchi (19 February 1932 – 26 March 1979) was an Italian Roman Catholic who was disabled for most of his life and was sometimes referred to as a "saint in a wheelchair". Rocchi exhibited signs of weakness in his limbs since his childhood but was not diagnosed until he was eight with a disease (D.M.D.) that led to a progressive muscular decline. He struggled with his condition at first but a religious experience in his adolescence seemed to restore him from his struggles and a commitment to preach the Gospel message to all while using his own suffering to demonstrate the need for people to love more. Rocchi made pilgrimages to Lourdes and to Loreto where he came to know and correspond with its prelate Loris Francesco Capovilla. He was also close with several other priests and figures such as the journalist (and later politician) Ettore Masina and his diocesan bishop (later cardinal) Ersilio Tonini.
