Antoninus of Sorrento, OSB Abbot (RM)
Died 830. Antonius was a Benedictine monk in one of the daughter houses of Monte Cassino. When he was forced to leave his monastery because of the wars raging in the country around him, he became a hermit until he was invited by the people of Sorrento to live among them. He did so as an abbot of Saint Agrippinus. He is now venerated as the patron of Sorrento (Benedictines). In art, Saint Antonius is a Benedictine holding a standard and the city wall (Roeder).
