Bishop and martyr. Born John Sordi in Cremona, he entered the Benedictines and became abbot of St. Lawrence in Creinona in 1155. When the papacy entered into its Struggle with Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, John sided with the Holy See and was banished. He retired and became a hermit near Mantua, but in 1174 was elevated to the office of bishop of Mantua after its bishop was deposed. After several years, John resigned in favor of the deposed bishop who desired to come back, and in 1177, John went to Vicenza where he was killed by a disgruntled man.
