[1] He became a hermit in a monastery situated on the island of Tino in the Ligurian Sea.
[4] It is thought that a sanctuary was constructed at the place of Venerius' death to contain his relics and that this was extended to form the Benedictine Abbey of San Venerio in eleventh century.
The relics of the saint seem to have resided in Luni, but due to attacks by Vikings and Moors, the bishopric transferred its seat to Sarzana.
They were later translated to Tino, now within the diocese of La Spezia, in a solemn ceremony.
The island of Tino has restricted access as part of a military zone.
