Saint Catherine of Siena, Italia
The monumental statue of St. Catherine of Siena, created by Bruno Buracchini and donated to the Diocese of Siena, was cast by Fonderia Marinelli in 1972. It was placed at the base of the Spanish fortress of Siena, which was destroyed in 1552 and rebuilt by Cosimo I de’ Medici after the conquest of Siena in 1555.
