Who is Saint Homobonus?
Saint Homobonus’ name may seem weird to English speakers today, but it quite simply translates as good man into Latin (homo – human, bonus/bono – good). He was born Omobono Tucenghi sometime in the 12th century in Cremona, Italy.
He had an easy early life as he came from a well-to-do family. His father was a successful tailor and a merchant. Continuing and expanding his father’s enterprise later in life, the good saint also turned it into a vehicle to help the people of Cremona.
