The legend of Saint Salvina of the Alps tells of a young girl who lived in Salerno, Italy, during the 6th century. She was known for her exceptional holiness and acts of charity towards the poor and sick. One day, while she was out collecting firewood, she was attacked by a wild boar. Salvina bravely fought the beast, but was eventually overpowered. The boar, however, did not harm her, but instead left her unscathed. Word of this miracle spread throughout the region, and Salvina gained a reputation as a saint. She was later canonized by the Catholic Church.
