Saint Magnus of Oderzo (Italian: San Magno di Oderzo) was a 7th-century Italian saint who is notable for founding some of the earliest churches in Venice.[1] He was Bishop of Oderzo and traveled to Venice in 638 because of the Lombard invasion of Italy.[2] There, he founded the churches of Santi Apostoli, San Pietro di Castello, Santa Maria Formosa, Santa Giustina, San Giovanni in Bragora, San Zaccaria, San Salvador and Angelo San Raffaele.[3]
He died in 670 and his remains are reportedly buried in the church of San Geremia in Venice.[4]
