Santa Sinforosa was the wife of San Getulio, from their love 7 children were born who were called Crescente, Giuliano, Nemesio, Primitivo, Giustino, Stactéo and Eugenio. The woman lived near the majestic villa of Emperor Hadrian, the one who had ordered the death of her husband Getulio, his brother-in-law Amanzio and their friend, Primitivo. The Emperor Hadrian after completing his grandiose villa, is said to have wanted, before inaugurating it, to consult the pagan gods, who told him, that the Sinforosa widow and her seven children, "tortured them every day invoking their God, therefore, if Symphorosa and her children sacrifice for them, they will do what the Emperor asked of him. " Hadrian then called the prefect licinius and ordered that Sinforosa be arrested and taken to the temple of Hercules together with his children. Then with flattery, with threats and with blackmail, she tried to make her give up and sacrifice to the idols, but the Saint with a noble soul appealed to the example of Getulio and the other martyrdom companions of her husband. Since the woman did not bow to her wishes, the Emperor commanded again to sacrifice, together with his children, to the pagan gods, or they would have been sacrificed themselves, but the Saint was adamant, as were her seven children. The Emperor, seeing every attempt in vain, ordered that Santa Sinforosa be tortured by hanging her by the hair on the branches of an elm tree. But the torture was in vain in the face of the force of the Saint, so the Emperor gave orders to the guards to tie a large stone to her neck, and to precipitate it in the Aniene river, so that he would drown. The seven sons of Santa Sinforosa suffered the same fate and, strengthened by their maternal and paternal example, they too were crowned with martyrdom. We are in the year 137 after Christ. The cult of these Martyrs, especially the one addressed to Our Saint, was very strong in the ancient Church, so much so that several churches and oratories were dedicated to them. The community of San Chirico Raparo has the good fortune to preserve, since 1641, an ampoule containing the Blood of the Martyr which, at times, miraculously liquefies as a sign of benevolence or of a grace obtained by its powerful intercession. Today we know a church dedicated to the Saint near Bagni di Tivoli and in a private land, near the city, where the owners erected a magnificent chapel in 1939, dedicating it to this Saint and her seven Martyred children. Other cults and devotions to the Saint are found in Abruzzo in Tossicìa (Teramo) and in Campania in Rocca D'Aspide (Salerno).
