Life
Saint Martin of Monte Massico, a venerable father, was a hermit in southern Italy in the 6th century, on Monte Massico. He is venerated as a saint in the Western Church; in our record he is remembered on 3 August, and his death is placed around 580.
Pope Gregory the Great tells of his miracles in his Dialogues (book 3, chapter 16), written around 593. We have no other sure details of his life in our sources.
