Marcantonio Durando was an Italian Roman Catholic priest and a professed member of the Congregation of the Mission in an effort to follow the teachings of Vincent de Paul – an ardent focus of his life and pastoral career. Durano was also the founder of the Daughters of the Passion of Jesus the Nazorean (1865) – or Nazarene Sisters – and founded that order with the assistance of Luigia Borgiotti (1802-1873).
