Saint Ceccardus of Luni (died 860), otherwise San Ceccardo, was a bishop of Luni in Liguria, Italy, who was believed to have been killed by Viking pirates, probably in 860 when they sacked the city of Luni.
He was declared a martyr and later became the patron saint of Carrara. His feast day is 16 June.[1][2]
