Agostino Novello Saint

The Blessed Agostino Novello, (also known as Augustine of Tarano) originally Matteo Di Termini, was an Italian religious figure.He was born in the first half of the 13th century, at Termini Imerese, the village in Sicily from which he derived his surname. As that village was near Palermo, he is sometimes called Panormitano. The Augustinians believe he was probably born at Tarano (near Rieti and not far north of Rome, Italy). On entering religion he changed his name to Agostino, and later was given the additional name of Novello.
