Mantova Museo Urbano Diffuso

It is commonly believed that this wooden Cross, carved in poplar, belonged to the Blessed. It is an oral tradition related also by the donor, the count Alessandro Magnaguti, who stresses the connection between Osanna and the finely hewn object. We can admire the slender figure of Christ on the cross, his delicate features, his hair and beard made precious with a golden colouring. His limbs are slender, his waist is small, and he is covered by a square loincloth. Even though the author of this work is probably an artist from the Padana area, some dramatic aspects indicate the influence of the North.
