Pope Silverius was later Beatified and made into a Saint and is now the patron saint of the island of Ponza, Italy (Isola Di Ponza, Italia).

He is also called Saint Silverius (San Silverio). According to Ponza Islands legend, fishermen were in a small boat in a storm off Palmarola and they called on Saint Silverius for help. An apparition of Saint Siverius called them to Palmarola where they survived. This miracle made him a Saint.
