Landulf of Yariglia (Italian: Beato Landolfo da Vareglate[1]) was Benedictine Bishop of Asti, Italy.[2]

He was born in the latter part of the eleventh century at ‘Vareglate’, which has been identified with the village of Vergiate to the north of Milan, and also with Variglié, a locality near Asti. He studied at the Benedictine monastery of San Pietro in Ciel d'Oro in Pavia, but did not become a monk.[3][4]
