Monumento a Santa Margherita da Cortona

Monument to Saint Margaret of Cortona

[Laviano (Perugia) 1247 - Cortona 1297]

Marble statue by the sculptor Giuseppe Pompilio Ticciati (Florence. 1706-1777)

The bronzes depicting an eagle, a dragon, a lion with a book and a lion with the head of a rooster are the work of the sculptor Giovanni Lapi (Rome. ? - Livorno, 1772).

The statue reached Cortona from Florence in 1749, twenty years after St Margaret's solemn canonization by Pope Benedict XIII. Its current placement, on a marbled base in Piazza Duomo, dates to 1776.

The Saint, proclaimed co-patron of Cortona together with St. Mark, is depicted in the habit of the Franciscan Third Order, which she put on in 1275 at the age of 28.

The monument's restoration was sponsored in 2013 by the Association for the Recovery and Nurturing of the Historic Organs of the City of Cortona and carried out with the involvement of the Comune of Cortona, the Banco Popolare of Cortona, the Catholic Church of Cortona, and private contributors.
