The plaque is fundamental for the identification of the martyr and the etymology of the word "Procopi" which means "Profit and a Progressive Wellness"

Thanks from two illustrious citizens of Ripatransone today she rests on the church dedicated to St. Philip at Ripatransone.

Aurelia can be found in the second chapel which is dedicated to St. Gaetano da Thiene, enriched by Lorenzo Vibi from Perugia.

The altarpiece was painted by Ubaldo Ricci from Fermo in the XVIII Century.

The iconography represents his devotional character, he is in the act of welcoming the Divine Child from the arms of his mother St. Mary.

St. Aurelia was killed for pleasure by some men.

In spite of everything she died with pride, supported by her faith, love for God and in defense for her Gospel truth.
