Statua di Santa Rosalia - Palermo

Description

Situato in una posizione privilegiata al centro della piazza della Cattedrale di Palermo, questo monumento è dedicato a Santa Rosalia, patrona della città.

Fu realizzata in marmo bianco da V. Vitaliano nell'anno 1744.

Esiste una leggenda su Santa Rosalia: Rosalia Sinibaldi era una nobile ragazza di origine normanna che si ritirò a vivere in montagna e visse vita da eremita. Secoli dopo , Palermo fu colpita dalla peste e si racconta che Santa Rosalia apparve ad un cacciatore, gli indicò la strada per ritrovare i suoi resti e gli chiese di portarli in processione per la città.
Secondo la leggenda, i malati guarivano ovunque li portassero, ponendo fine all’epidemia.

Successivamente venne costruito un santuario in suo onore sulla cima del Monte Pellegrino, e Rosalia fu eletta patrona di Palermo.
