Saint Venantius of Camerino († ca. 251) is the patron saint of Camerino, Italy. Christian tradition holds that he was a 15-year-old who was tortured and martyred by decapitation at Camerino during the persecutions of Decius. In the 17th century, Pope Clement X, who was a former bishop of Camerino, further contributed to the spread of his cult: he raised the saint's feast to the level of a double rite and composed hymns for Venantius' office. In the General Roman Calendar, he has a third-class feast on 18 May.
