Notes

Saint Anne, the mother of the Blessed Virgin, is the village of Cantalupo's patron saint. She became Cantalupo's patron following a major earthquake which took on July 26, 1805 on the very day her feast day was being celebrated. According to reports the tremors miraculously ended the moment Saint Anne's statue was removed from the church.... Image ID: The Library of Congress #07992R.
