Life

Saint Generosus of Tivoli has been venerated since ancient times at Tivoli, near Rome, where his relics are kept in the cathedral. The sources say nothing certain about his life; tradition places him in the sixth century.

He is a saint of the undivided Church, commemorated on 17 July (new style, Western calendar). He is not to be confused with Saint Generosus, abbot of Saint-⁠Jouin-⁠de-⁠Marnes, remembered one day earlier.

Commemorated the same day July 17
