SINIGAGLIA
This month's event in honour of Saint Paulinus |
Sinigaglia (Senegallia) was the birthplace of Pope Pius IX and Blessed Gherardo di Serra. The patron saint of Sinigaglia is Saint Paulinus, whose body is preserved in the cathedral (as is attested for the first time in 1397). He is, therefore, not identical with Saint Paulinus of Nola, nor is it known to what epoch he belongs. The first bishop of certain date was Venantius (502). About 562 the bishop was Saint Bonifacius, who at the time of the Lombard invasion was martyred by the Arians. Under Bishop Sigismundus (c. 590) the relics of Saint Gaudentius, Bishop of Rimini and martyr, were transported to Sinigaglia. Other bishops of the diocese are: Robertus and Theodosius (1057), friends of Saint Peter Damian, and Jacopo (1232-1270), who rebuilt the cathedral which had been destroyed in 1264.
