Saint Chiaffredo (Chiaffredus Theofredus Ciafrè Chaffre Teofredo Jafredo Jafredus Eufredus Jofredus Sinfredus Zaffredus) is venerated as the patron saint of Saluzzo Italy. Tradition considers him a member of the Theban Legion but instead of being martyred with this legion at Agaunum (in present-day Switzerland) he escaped to Piedmont and was martyred there.A 14th-century account relates that around 522 a man fell from a precipice near Crissolo but remained unharmed.
