Life
Mastalo of Amalfi was, in the 10th century, the eleventh Catholic bishop of Amalfi, from 960 to 987, of Byzantine stock. He is counted a saint of the Roman Catholic Church.
He was the last bishop of Amalfi, for after his death, in 986 or 987, the church of Amalfi was raised to an archbishopric. A lead seal of Mastalo was found in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore: on one side it reads Mastalo, bishop, and on the other it bears the image of the Apostle Andrew, protector of Amalfi.
Our source gives no other details of his life or cult. He is a local saint of the West, of the undivided Church; no Orthodox synodal canonization is known.
