I don't know, save that either Piero Bargellini's "Mille Santi del giorno"
or Piero Lazzarin's "Il Nuovo libro dei santi" give this as a date of
observance, according to Phyllis Jestice's entry of 19Oct2002. I don't have
access to either book but assume that one of the authors had cause for his
inclusion of the saint on that day. That is one of the fascinating things
about postings such as these, that we have a chance to compare "observance
guides" (for lack of a better phrase) and marvel at their differences.
