Life

Saint Domninus of Fidenza (Donnino) was born at Parma in Italy. While fleeing his persecutors, he was overtaken and beheaded on the Via Claudia or the Via Aemilia, a few miles from Parma, in 304. The place is now called Borgo San Donnino after him, and his relics are venerated there. He is commemorated on 9 October, as a saint of the undivided Church, by the New Calendar.
