Walfrid
Walfrid, or Galfrido della Gherardesca, was an eighth-century saint from Pisa, Italy.

Life and death 
Though he had six children with his long-time wife, Thesia, they conducted a dutifully religious lifestyle. He co-founded the Abbey of Palazzuolo on Monte Verde; his wife and one of his daughters took the veil in a convent built nearby. His favorite son, Gimfrid, caused Walfrid a great deal of trouble when he ran away from the monastery. Caught and permanently injured in his right hand, a penitent Gimfrid was returned to the monastery, which he presided over after Walfrid's death.

Walfrid died in 765 AD and was sainted in 1861. His feast day is February 15.
