You can\u2019t say you know San Gimignano if you don\u2019t know who Santa Fina is.<\/p>\n
Serafina or Iosefina Ciardi, for friends Fina, is a very young blessed who lived in the mid-1200s.<\/p>\n
From an early age she cultivated a great devotion to the Madonna, in fact it is said that she left the house only to go to mass.<\/p>\n
Little is known about her, until 1248 when she was struck by a serious illness that brought her total immobilization of her body.<\/p>\n
\n
\n
Her short life was marked by a long series of physical and moral sufferings accepted for love of Christ, in fact by choice she remained in the cellar of her house immobilized on an oak table.<\/p>\n
After the death of her father and shortly after her mother, she was cared for until her death by the nurses Beldia and Bonaventura.<\/p>\n

One of her many miracles was the apparition of St. Gregory shortly before her death to predict that her earthly sufferings were about to end exactly in 8 days. And so it happened on March 12, 1253, when the girl received extreme unction and she died at the age of fifteen.<\/p>\n
It is said that on the day of her death, particular flowers, which today are called \u201cviolets of Santa Fina<\/strong>\u201c, bloomed on the towers and walls and that when his body was detached from the table it smelled of flowers.<\/p>\n The house of Santa Fina is now transformed into a chapel and can be visited every 12 March, the feast of the Saint.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.14.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_post_slider show_meta=”off” _builder_version=”4.14.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_button=”on” button_border_width=”3px” button_border_radius=”10px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_post_slider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You can\u2019t say you know San Gimignano if you don\u2019t know who Santa Fina is.
