Titian of Brescia

Saint Titian of Brescia was bishop of Brescia in the fifth century. He is considered the fifteenth bishop of Brescia, successor of Vigilius and predecessor of Paul II. His episcopate is believed to have been at the end of the fifth century. He is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church. His commemoration is on 3 March, and since 1962 he is commemorated on 20 April, together with other saints of Brescia.

According to one source, Titian was of German origin and laboured much to spread the Gospel among the people. He was buried in the church of Saints Cosmas and Damian, which was demolished in May 1302 by Bishop Berard in order to build the Palazzo Broletto on the cathedral square. A new church of Saints Cosmas and Damian was built in the western part of the city, in the area known as Campi Bassi, and Titian's relics were moved to this new church by Bishop Paolo Zane in 1505, into a marble sarcophagus built on top of the altar of the left chapel.
