Allo of Bobbio

Saint Allo of Bobbio (Allon), a venerable father, was an Italian monk and missionary of the rule of Saint Columbanus, of the 6th century, and died at Bobbio on 31 August, in an unknown year of the 7th century. He is venerated as a saint in the Western Church and remembered on 16 March, after the feast was moved.

He is one of the twenty-⁠six holy abbots and monks buried in the crypt of the monastery of Saint Columbanus at Bobbio, beside its founder, Saint Columbanus. He entered the monastery under the first abbots, when there were more than a hundred and fifty monks there. He was buried in the crypt with the others. At first he was commemorated on the day of his death, then the feast was moved to 16 March. The parish of Lupezat, in Creuse, is dedicated to him.
