Saint Pellegrino delle Alpi

Pellegrino, known as Saint Pellegrino in Alpe or Saint Pellegrino the Scot (Ireland or Scotland, ... – Frassinoro, 643), was, according to tradition, an Irish or Scottish prince who renounced his wealth to undertake a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He later died in Italy in the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, where a cult soon arose linked to his figure and that of Saint Bianco, who is traditionally identified as his only companion in hermitage. Although they are the object of great veneration by Tuscan-Emilian Catholics, who celebrate them on August 1, neither is officially recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church.
