Exuperantius of Cingoli

Exuperantius of Cingoli (Italian: Es[s]uperanzio) is a Roman Catholic saint who died in the 5th century.

He was bishop of Cingoli, in the Marche region of Italy in 496/7,[1] and could have been from Africa. Little is known about him with certainty, but tradition attributes numerous miracles to his intercession both during his life and after his death, including the cessation of an outbreak of plague.[2]

His feast day is January 24.[3] His characteristic symbols for artistic portrayal are the banner and book.[4]
