Saint Fortunatus of Casei (Italian: San Fortunato di Casei) is venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church. Tradition makes him a member of the Theban Legion and thus martyred at Agaunum. However his relics were situated in the catacombs of Saint Callixtus in Rome until 1746 when Cardinal Guadagni Roman vicar to Benedict XIV re-exhumed and displayed Fortunatus’ relics in the collegiate church of Santa Maria in Via Lata in Rome.
