She is a Christian Saint from Viterbo (in today’s Italy) NOT an Italian Saint.

>> Researchers have used X-ray techniques to uncover the cause of death of a 700-year-old Italian saint. <<
Old age?
>> Santa Rosa - who died when she was 18 or 19 years old - <<
Oh, nevermind

I think the other poster means that when Santa Rosa died 700 years ago, Italy as a country, at that point in time, did not exist.

She is a Christian Saint from Viterbo (in today’s Italy) NOT an Italian Saint. When did Viterbo separate itself from Italy?

You don’t get it.
Italy was formed in 1861.

True, yet “Italian” is a word used in the scripture (Acts 10:1). That would be 1c AD.

Italian is the NT is the Roman Empire equivalent of New Englander—a collection of political sub-units that are not themselves a sovereign political unit.

της καλουμενης ιταλικης
Same adjective. That there was no political entity "Italy" has nothing to do with the use of the word in either the article's context or the New Testament's
Nor is there a different adjective in the modern everyday use. Google for example, "ιταλικη κουζίνα".
Or even
Fra Angelico 1395-1455 ιταλικός ζωγράφος (Link)

The New Testament’s use of Italic is to describe a pagan centurion NOT a follower of Chrstian or a Christian saint.
Once the peninsula was Chrstianized the term Italian or Italic makes no sense.

So you would agree to the use of “Italian” in application to a medieval heretic, but not to a medieval saint?
