This Work fulfils the demand coming from the exigency to recognize the saints through emblems which the iconographic tradition of art and popular culture has connected to that person. It is a work of popular religious culture and religious anthropology, which can be really useful and valuable also to scholars in history of art for its simple and direct approach to the saints’ biography and to the iconographical pertinences which tradition has made up in the time around each of them.
