Siamo Noi - Montepulciano (Siena), la storia di Sant'Agnese da Montepulciano

by Andrea Postiglione "Our glorious mother, Saint Agnes," was what Saint Catherine of Siena called her. Fifty years after her death, she went to pray near Agnes's tomb in the monastery church. Proclaimed a saint in 1726 by Pope Benedict XIII, Agnes's life was marked by a great mystical love for God, which led her to experience frequent ecstasies and visions and apparitions. In iconography, she appears wearing the Dominican habit, sometimes with a lamb in her hands or crouching at her feet, and even with a lily in her hand. To learn about her, Andrea Postiglione traveled to the Sanctuary of Saint Agnes in Montepulciano, where the saint's remains rest.
