Valentino is still considered the patron saint of lovers, since legend has it that he was the first priest to celebrate the union between a Christian and a young legionary pay.
When the persecution of Emperor Aurelian ordered Christians, Valentine was imprisoned and whipped along the Via Flaminia from the city to prevent riots and reprisals of the faithful, and then was martyred.
The Legend Legend has it that Valentine's day hearing arguing the two young lovers went their meeting by offering a gift a beautiful rose. Then she whispered words of reconciliation, putting an end to the dispute.
At this point, the Saint asked them to tighten together the stem of a rose and to pray that their love would last forever.
