John of Lodi (1025-1106) was an Italian hermit and bishop. John was born in Lodi Vecchio in 1025. In the 1060s he became a hermit at the Camaldolese monastery of Fonte Avellana. He became a disciple and the personal secretary of Peter Damian who was the prior of Fonte Avellana. After Damian’s death in 1072 John wrote a biography of Damian (1076-1082).
