L’Umiltà e le rose. Storia di una compagnia femminile a Torino tra età moderna e contemporanea
by Anna Cantaluppi and Blythe Alice Raviola (editors)
The Compagnia dell’Umiltà, active in Turin from the sixteenth to the twentieth century, was founded in milieus close to the Savoy court and Jesuit spirituality. Its members included Savoy princesses, ladies-inwaiting and consorts of the confreres of the Compagnia di San Paolo. Through prosopographical research, the book reconstructs the virtually unknown history of the institution that assisted the ill and distributed assets. It also examines the iconography and hagiography of its patron saint, Elizabeth of Hungary.
