SANT FÈLIX
On the 30th of May, 2004, surprised by the absence of a biography of Sant Fèlix, Roman and Christian Martyr, who became Patron of Vilafranca del Penedès in the year 1700, Guido Dettoni della Grazia posed the question, “Perhaps, this Saint can be found now in this new Millennium?“
Edition of twelve handheld replicas, 17 cm/high, of the statue of the original sculpture, carved in oak wood macerated in the wine of the Penedès.
