The Church of Sant’Agostino

Blessed Antonio Patrizi

In the nave, on the left, is a statue of Blessed Antonio Patrizi (1755) by Giuseppe Maria Mazzuoli. He is shown with an open book, which can be identified as the Bible, one of the iconographical symbols of the Augustinians; for it was the word of God recorded in the Holy Scriptures which led Augustine to convert to the Christian faith.
