ADALGIS, Saint. - Bishop of Novara. The diptychs of this church assign him 19 years of episcopate, which must have run from 830 or 831 to 849 or 850, and call him "gemma sacerdotum." The surviving documents of the period attest in fact that he was greatly beneficent toward his church and that he displayed a notable pastoral activity.

His feast falls on October 7; his body, laid in the church of St. Gaudentius outside the Walls, destroyed in 1553, was later brought into the present Cathedral, consecrated in 1590.
