PETER (Cambiani) of Ruffia, Blessed. - Dominican preacher, b. at Ruffia (Cuneo), at the beginning of the 14th century, martyred at Susa on 2 February 1365.

Having devoted himself to preaching, he converted many heretics, but others, obstinate in heresy, killed him in the convent of the Friars Minor of Susa. His body was transported to the church of the Dominicans of Turin. Pius IX approved his cult, and his feast was fixed on 7 November and permitted to the dioceses of Turin, Saluzzo and Susa.
