Ampelius (Latin: Ampelius, Italian: Ampelio) was Archbishop of Milan from 671 to 676. He is honoured as a saint in the Catholic Church.^[1]

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]
