St. Innocenza (c. 285-300)
From a noble family, she was born in Monte Tauro, in the Rimini hinterland, around 285. In the year 300 the emperor Diocletian, passing through Rimini, summoned a large group of Christians; he noticed, among them, the young and beautiful Innocenza and made some proposals that the girl rejected, proudly proclaiming her faith. The emperor ordered his proconsul Sebastiano to convince her by any means. Sebastiano gave Innocenza three days to meditate on his fate, then sent some henchmen to the palace of Monte Tauro to hear what the girl had decided. She was found whilst prying; furious, the henchmen pierced her breast with a sword on September 16th.
