Saint Filippo Neri

One of the many portrait of the florentine saint gathered from the works of the Pomarancio (Cristoforo Roncalli) or from the portrait sketched for the cardinal Paleotti reproduced in copper in the De bono senectutis printed in Rome by Zanetti in 1595. The saint is represented dressed as a priest, with the rosary in his hand and the flame in the ribs recalling the display of the Lord, happened in Rome in 1544 while praying in the catacomb of Saint Sebastian
