Quote from Letter 6,22 to Peter, bishop of Aleria in Corsica. January 596
In the island of Corsica, at a placed called Negeugnus, there is a property called Cellas Cupias that belongs to the holy Roman Church, which we serve with God's authority.
There we have ordered a church with a baptistery to be founded, in the honor of Saint Peter, the prince of the apostles, and Saint Laurence the martyr, to benefit the souls living there. For that reason, with these words we exhort your Fraternity, that you should visit the aforesaid place without delay, providing the solemnities of a venerable dedication.
