Life

Euphrosinus of Chianti is a bishop honored at Panzano in Chianti in Tuscany, commemorated on 3 November. No sure facts of his life are known; in 1578 a bishop of Fiesole wrote him a biography without sources, presenting him as a bishop from Pamphylia who came on pilgrimage to Rome and stayed at Panzano. His oratory is attested from the 12th century. The date follows the Western calendar (new style).
