His parents were Luca and Anna Maria Massari Danei (sometimes spelled Daneii).[2] His father ran a small dry-goods store, and moved his family and store from town to town near Genoa trying to make ends meet.Paul was the second of sixteen children, six of whom survived infancy; and learned at an early age the reality of death and the uncertainty of life. Paul received his early education from a priest who kept a school for boys, in Cremolino, Lombardy. He made great progress and at the age of fifteen he left school and returned to his home at Castellazzo. In his early years he taught catechism in churches near his home.
