Chiaffredo was a 3rd-century soldier, likely born in Egypt, who is recognized as a saint within the Catholic and Coptic traditions. According to legend, he was a member of the Theban Legion but avoided the mass martyrdom at Agaunum by fleeing to the Piedmont region. He eventually met his death in Crissolo, where his presence is commemorated. He serves as a patron saint of Saluzzo, Italy, and is celebrated on 7 September.
