Solarius of Luni

Saint Solarius, hieromartyr, was, as it seems, the second Bishop of Luni, in Italy, and suffered in the fifth century, at San Terenzo al Mare, near Lerici. He is commemorated on 22 October.

According to a fairly old tradition, Solarius received the martyr's death at San Terenzo al Mare, in a place now called Solaro. If the tradition were proved by documents, Solarius could be regarded as a bishop who served, certainly, before Saint Felix.

Of the first bishop, Saint Basil, just as little is known.
