 tomb(s), chapel, cemetery, religion, catholicism

Saint Bruno of Cologne (Cologne, c. 1030 – Serra San Bruno, 6 October 1101), the founder of the Carthusian Order, personally founded the order's first two communities. He was a celebrated teacher at Reims, and a close advisor of his former pupil, Pope Urban II.
Bruno was buried in the little cemetery of the hermitage of Santa Maria. In 1513 his bones were discovered with the epitaph "Haec sunt ossa magistri Brunonis" over them. Since the Carthusian Order maintains a strict observance of humility, Saint Bruno was never formally canonized. He was not included in the Tridentine Calendar, but in the year 1623 Pope Gregory XV included him in the Roman Catholic Calendar of Saints for celebration on October 6.

Saint Bruno has long been regarded the patron saint of Calabria.
