SAINT SALVATORE, BISHOP OF BELLUNO
Saint Salvatore (Salvator), a bishop of Belluno in Italy, ruled this church for several years in great holiness. He performed many miracles in life, and after his death continued to help all who invoked his intercession. In several places, altars and churches were built in his honour for this reason. The exact time he lived is not known. Ferrarius* lists him on February 3.
