Viterbo, Colle del Duomo Museum. Miracle of Vitorchiano’s heretics, oil on canvas (unknown artist, 18th century). Santa Rosa tramples heretical books as they burn; the angel shows the Holy Scriptures to the Saint and holds the lily in her hand, a symbol of purity.

Viterbo, chapel of the diocesan seminary of Viterbo. Santa Rosa da Viterbo, fresco. The Saint is depicted on the current Via Roma; in the background on the right you can see the Clock Tower and the Palazzo dei Priori.
