Saint Cono of Teggiano

Cono of Teggiano was an Italian religious figure born in the city of Teggiano in the 12th century AD, in the Salerno region of Italy. His early death and the ardent devotion that led him to take the habit at a very young age were seen as signs of holiness by the local inhabitants. They eventually brought his cult from Teggiano to the Americas, especially to the Uruguayan city of Florida.
