Brandano was a 16th-century Italian preacher and prophet. The sources disagree on his surname: Carosi or Garosi.

==Biography== He was born in Petroio in 1486 to Savino Garosi and Bartolomea called Meia. After a dissipated youth in the name of libertining and play, he converted. After moving to Montefollonico, where he married a certain Checca, he abandoned his family to go to Siena, where he embarked on a life made of hardships, alms, and penances. According to tradition, he changed his life after a stone splinter hit him on the forehead and in one eye while he was hoeing a field. Thus, frightened by what seemed to him a divine sign and conquered by the preacher fra Serafino da Pistoia, he covered himself with religion, dressing in the habit of the Augustinians. He traveled around Italy, France and Spain, preaching penances and prophesizing.
