Description
Pictured is a statue of Saint Anthony of Padua in the church of Saint Martin in Portofino, Italy. He is holding a lily, one of his attributes. In his arms is the child Jesus. This lovely striped church is dedicated to Saint Martin of Tours and was built in 986 in Romanic-Lombard style. In 1548 under the shelf of the altar, a case containing the memorabilia of the saint martyrs Dorotea, Cassiano and Vincenzo was found, and thus the church was consecrated. Subsequently, it will be restored time and time again. The current building is the result of the 19th century changes.
