Romulus of Genoa
Roman Catholic saint
Romulus (or Remo) of Genoa (Italian: Romolo; Ligurian: Reumo(l)o) was an early Bishop of Genoa, around the time of Syrus.[1] His dates are uncertain: since Jacobus de Voragine[2] traditional lists compiled from local liturgies generally place his bishopric fourth in a largely legendary list.[3] He fled from Genoa and never returned[4] He died in the cave he inhabited at Villa Matutiae,[lower-alpha 1] a town on the Italian Riviera which later adopted his name, becoming San Remo (from 15th century until the first half of the 20th century), and later Sanremo.[5]
