Romulus of Genoa was a 4th and 5th-century bishop and theologian who served the Christian community in Genoa. During his life, he eventually left the city and sought refuge in a cave located at Villa Matutiae, a settlement on the Italian Riviera. He passed away in this cave, which later became known as Sanremo. Recognized as a saint in Catholic and Orthodox traditions, he is remembered for his early leadership within the church during a period of historical uncertainty.
