Saint Paternian
Paternian or Paternianus ( it, San Paterniano) is the name of an Italian saint. A native of Fermo who escaped to the mountains during the persecutions of Christians by Diocletian, he was then appointed bishop of Fano by Pope Sylvester I. (Paternian is often confused with Parthenian (Parteniano), a bishop of Bologna, also commemorated on July 12.) Life Historical details about Paternian are scarce. The ''Vita Sancti Paterniani'' can be found in a codex of the 12th century, though it dates earlier, and was written by a monk of the 10th or 11th century. But it is legendary and not reliable. Paternian was born at Fano around 275 AD. An angel told him in a vision to escape this city and hide out in a deserted place near the Metauro River. He became a hermit and the abbot of a monastery.
