Basilica di San Frediano

This guide to Basilica di San Frediano in Lucca opens with a question: why would a household turn on its most trusted servant and accuse her of theft. It tells the story of Zita, who arrived at the Fatinelli house at twelve years old in the early twelve hundreds and stayed on for decades, quietly giving away bread from the kitchen until a jealous fellow servant reported her. The guide follows the household to the doorway where the head of the family stopped her and demanded to see what she was hiding in her apron. Her glass-cased body, still on display in the Fatinelli Chapel, is the reason the story is still told.
