agostino novello

the blessed agostino novello , -lrb- also known as augustine of tarano -rrb- originally matteo di termini , was an italian religious figure .
he was born in the first half of the 13th century , at termini imerese , the village in sicily from which he derived his surname .
as that village was near palermo , he is sometimes called panormitano .
the augustinians believe he was probably born at tarano -lrb- near rieti and not far north of rome , italy -rrb- .
on entering religion he changed his name to agostino , and later was given the additional name of novello .
