Further to Pius I:
In the first sentence of that earlier post's notice of this saint, for 'Aquieia' please read 'Aquileia'.
Further to Benedict of Nursia / of Montecassino:
In these fragments of earlier twelfth-century (ca. 1145) stained glass from the abbey of Saint-Denis outside of Paris mounted in 1840 in the east window of the Church of St James in Twycross (Leics), Benedict (at left) becomes aware of his disciple St. Placidus' watery peril whilst (at right) the older disciple St. Maurus hastens to the aid of the nearly submerged Placidus (photograph by Gordon Plumb):

Benedict (upper register, at left) as depicted in a March calendar composition in the earlier fourteenth-century frescoes (betw. ca. 1312 and ca. 1321/22) of the monastery church of the Theotokos at Gračanica in, depending upon one's view of the matter, either the Republic of Kosovo or Serbia's province of Kosovo and Metohija:

Further to John of Bergamo:
Formerly commemorated in the RM under 11. July, John was removed in the latter's revisions of 2001. In the diocese of Bergamo he is now celebrated on 15. January along with its sainted first and second bishops, Narnus and Viator. The chances are excellent that the only bodies that continue to treat him as a saint of 11. July are Traditional Catholic churches or societies using an older (pre-2001) form of the RM.
Further to Olga of Kyiv (Kiev):
