Yea, read all anbout it on the web. You might find that actually St./Valentine could be more than one guy. No he was not schizoid, but with the differing stories of who he was and why, it could well have been two different blokes in two different places. But I am sure that card manufacturers, florists and patisseries are eternally grateful to him/them, as otherwise they might not have got as much money in their tills to buy their own sweethearts a gift.

But roses die; chocolates get eaten and about the onlything that endures is love itself, so take up Flight Holiday's suggestion (elsewhere) to put a few lira in a charity box for those less fortunate. Now THAT is live - innit.
