Saint Fermo was a martyr in the city of Aquileia, who, during the persecution under Emperor Diocletian (284-305 AD), was sentenced to be buried alive in a pit. The story relates that he was miraculously rescued by a dove, which bore him on its wings to the surface. This miracle is commemorated in the town of Fermo in Italy, which is named after him.
