Saint Nicodemus of Mammola is venerated as a saint in Calabria. His exact place of birth is unknown but has been identified as Ypsicron. Nicodemus’ parents were named Theophanus and Pandia, and they entrusted their son's spiritual education to a priest named Galato (Galatone). Early on, Nicodemus was attracted to the monastic life, and wished to join the ascetics who had established themselves in the zone known as the Mercurion, on the cliffs of the Pollino in Calabria.
