Madonna dello Stellario
Via del Fosso
Lucca, June 2024

“Passing Piazza San Pietro and following Via della Fratta, one comes to a crossroads where seven roads converge, including Via del Fosso: here is the Column of the Madonna dello Stellario. The column, of Corinthian order, rests on a pedestal depicting a view of Lucca. On the top is a statue of the Madonna, donated to the ‘Compagnia della Concezione o dello Stellario’ (Compagnia of the Conception or of the Stellario), which had its seat in San Francesco. The statue, the work of the sculptor Giovanni Lazzoni, is a Baroque insert of considerable importance and was placed above the column at the end of the 17th century.” (Madonna dello Stellario, Route You)
