Saint Firmina is a Roman Catholic Italian saint and virgin martyr. She is the patroness saint of Civitavecchia, and Amelia Cathedral is dedicated to her.
==Legend== She is said to have lived in the 3rd century and to have suffered martyrdom during the persecution of Diocletian, but all information about her comes from a vita written not earlier than the 6th century. Later oral tradition has supplemented this with sometimes conflicting detail.
