Life
Almost nothing is known about the life and the
episcopate of Ampelius. He ruled the diocese of Milan in a period marked by the troubles due to the Lombards. Ampelius is remembered as man able to do miracles, but we have no detail about his acts.[2]
Goffredo da Bussero in the 15th century informs us that his feast day was the 8 February, possibly the date of his death.[1] His feast day is now celebrated on July 7 in the Roman Rite and on July 8 in the Ambrosian Rite.[3] He was buried in the Basilica of St. Simplician where his relics are still venerated under the main altar.[2]
