Saints Felice and Adautto

Felice and Adautto are two Christian martyrs, probably killed at the time of the persecutions of Diocletian.

The origins of their cult are distant, it is thought that they go back at least to the fourth century, as evidenced by a document dedicated to them by Pope Damaso I.


From some sources it seems that they were brothers, one of whom was a priest, condemned for refusing to deny their Christian faith.

Felice and Adauto were buried in a crypt located in the catacombs of Commodilla, along via Ostiense, where a chapel was erected soon in their honor, where some VI century frescoes are preserved depicting the images of the two martyrs.

The construction of the basilica of Saints Felice and Adautto in the cemetery of Commodilla, dates back to the pontificate of John I, was rediscovered by Orazio Marucchi with the excavations carried out between 1903 and 1905 by the Pontifical Commission for Sacred Archeology.
