Another Roman legionary, who also became a healing saint is San Faustino, a member of the powerful Marciana family and himself a veteran of many battles. Despite having embraced Christianity, he was never persecuted and retired to his land holdings near Massa Martana, where we still find the spring which bears his name. This delicious water was further acknowledged in the 1400s as Pope Pius ll Piccolomini, offered complete absolution to those pilgrims who also stopped in the nearby church.
