St. Allucio (d. ca. 1134 A.D.) was a shepherd in Pescia, Tuscany, Italy. He became director of the almshouse in Valdi Nievole and built shelters at river crossings and mountain passes. These were run by young men who became known as the Brothers of St. Allucio. St. Allucio's cult was approved by Pope Pius IV.
