From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Saint Leo of Montefeltro (c. 275–366) otherwise Leone of Montefeltro ( Italian: San Leo di Montefeltro, San Leone di Montefeltro) was the first bishop of Montefeltro from 301. He is traditionally held to have been in origin a stonecutter from Dalmatia. He is venerated as a saint by the Roman Catholic church. His feast day is 1 August. [1]

Some sources claim that Leo was ordained as priest by Gaudentius of Rimini, [2] who ordained Saint Marinus as deacon. [2] [3]
