Gargoyles

This is one of the only two gargoyles in town. Both belong to the “Cappella di Maria Immacolata” (Mary Immaculate Chapel), which is inside a private school run by the Mantellate Sisters.
The Neo-Romantic chapel by the Livornese Luigi Zumkeller was inaugurated in 1912. It was built with the intervention of sister Luisa Martelli, from a wealthy Florentine family.
