[1] Titian was born to a noble family of Eraclea (Grisolera) in the Veneto region,[1] and served as a deacon and priest to Florian (Florianus), bishop of Opitergium (Oderzo).

[1] Titian died in 632, traditionally on January 16, and was buried in the cathedral of Oderzo.

[1] His relics are now in the crypt of the cathedral of Ceneda, in a bronze urn fashioned in neo-Byzantine style in the form of a sarcophagus.

[1] He is depicted in various paintings in the cathedrals of Oderzo and Ceneda, and there are ten parishes dedicated in his name.

After a fierce battle between the inhabitants of Oderzo and Eraclea, it was decided that Titian's relics should be placed in a wagon pulled by oxen.
