On September 27, 1261, after a rough squabble broke out between the Padulesi and the Dianesi about who should possess the remains of the mortal Saint, the remnants were placed in trust of the wise people. A cattle cart of Diano and another of Padula brought them miraculously and trium- phantly to Diano.

The cult and devotion to our citizen does not remain only in Diano but surpasses the mountains and seas. It spread and affirmed itself in other towns and religions near and far.

At Laureana Alento, of the Capuccio-Vallo Diocese, Cono was declared Patron and Protector and is honored on June 3 of each year. At Saint Cono of Cessanti, province of Catanzaro near Pizzo Calabro, Saint Cono besides being celebrated on the third of June, is also remembered on the third Sunday of July with solemnity and great concourse of followers coming from the entire vast area.
 

From the second half of the last century, thanks to the works of the Teggianesi immigrants who spread to foreign lands in search of bread and work, the cult and devotion to Saint Cono have spread past the borders of his nation affirming himself everywhere especially in the far away Americas. In many nations of the New Continent, the Saint's statues are exposed to his faithfuls. They purify themselves even with pompous display during the dates of June 3 and September 27. Many associations were also formed in particular that of Saint Cono in Uruguay, and in Florida an entire neighborhood is named after him.

During the Second World War, the Teggianesi people who immigrated to Venezuela, Canada and Australia brought with them a cult and devotion to this Saint. This cult and devotion have reached the proportions of other places, but the Teggianesi immigrants have generously contributed to the annual celebrations that take place in Teggiano and through their correspondence shines a deep love for the Saint to whom they go to during all circumstances of life to preserve and protect themselves from danger.
