There are only two sources backing this article: the first one is not to be found, while the second one refers to St. Silas instead. I suspect this person to be fictitious, and the article possibly a prank. Lone-078 (talk) 18:39, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I'm not finding anything, and there is evidence of a hoax - some versions of the article have the same content but list different names and places (e.g. a Frenchman based at Arles). Lamona (talk) 03:48, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The [1] official list of bishops of Ravenna does not include an entry for the years 1352-1361. It seems Petrocino was elected bishop of Ravenna in 1352 but only consecrated in 1362, per this biography, hence the gap. This is a textbook WP:HOAX. Broc (talk) 10:21, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
