Ed Rooney Posted September 11 Share Posted September 11 Jeff, you can really pick some puzzles. I of course have great knowledge about Italian historical art (NOT), Roman Catholic history (NOT), and nuns&sisters (NOT). I'll get back to you (NOT). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Robinson Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 (edited) I think the top row says something like "canons (so priests) buried in this place". Any Latin scholars on the forum? C - Giovanna Antida Thouret, French saint 1765-1826. The bloke behind looks like he might be Francis of Assisi (and might not). You can usually identify saints by what they are holding but I'm not sure what that is in his right hand Edited September 12 by Phil Robinson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you still in Naples ? Perhaps a tour guide, or a book sold in the cathedral may be able to help ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photo by Peter Horee - one time top 500 Alamy photographer - and a name I haven't seen for a long while. He now has c 93k images (including a lot of PD). I agree with the comments about taking pics for reference purposes - saves Google a lot of ruining around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 (edited) The saint is pointing to her chest which likely means this is a reliquary containing, or believed to contain, her heart, or part of it. The chap in the background, don't know. A job for a guide to the Duomo. Edited September 26 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
