Proculus of Verona

Saint Proculus (Italian: San Procolo) (died c. 320 AD) was a bishop of Verona who survived the persecutions of Diocletian.

[1] During the Diocleian persecution, Proculus, bishop of Verona went to the prison to encourage Firmus and Rusticus.

However, as Proculus was elderly, Anulinus did not consider him worth his interest, and had him released, beaten, and banished from the city.

[6] In San Zaccaria in Venice is a life-size wooden statue "Proculus of Verona" (1451).

[1] In 1704, Sebastiano Ricci executed in Venice a canvas of "San Procolo" for Bergamo Cathedral.
