renovations (doorways, vaults, etc.). These developments point to the confraternity's growing economic resources and devotional interests, something that, eventually, would come to rest around the confraternity's processional crucifix, a source of spiritual identity and strength for the confraternity brothers and for the diocese of Pescia.Although there are serious lacunae in the archival records for the Confraternity of the Magdalene in particular and for the diocese of Pescia in general, it is clear even from this slim volume and from the one-day conference that inspired it that much can still be gleaned from the surviving documents to illuminate the devotional, religious, and artistic life of an early modern provincial town such as Pescia. The activities of other confraternities, the role of the canons in running the diocese, the religious patronage of the town's magnate families, not to mention the vitality of local cultic activity are just some of the areas that merit further investigation. Professor Spicciani and his team of scholars have presented us with a alluring locale for further research into early modern lay religious life.
When we say 'Holy Week of Seville,' we normally refer to the typically Sevillian celebration of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ according to the confraternities and brotherhoods that, during the days of Holy Week, celebrate their processions, or 'stations of penitence' in the Holy Church Cathedral."
