The Federico Cardinal Cattani was born in Marradi in 1865 and died in 1943. E 'buried before the high altar in the church Deacon. His house Stabbia family was the villa, which is between Fantino and Lozzole. His residence was cardinal in Rome, but sometimes he came Stabbia and certainly will sometimes come into the church Lozzole, which is in the nearby ridge. Here was a baby Jesus, plaster cloth, which is probably quite old.
When the church was abandoned and fell into ruin was found by Mrs. Mary Angela Miller, great-nephew of the cardinal, and when she moved to America, Hawaii, took it with him. Now it's back, from remote islands, because the lady gave it to Don Antonio, accompanied by a generous donation of money for some needed renovations. The opening of the package has proved a pleasant surprise, because it is a really fine craftsmanship. The note accompanying this welcome gift says
July 2010 Former owner of Angela Maria Miller Stabbia
It 'a nice recognition for this priest, who practically rebuilt and given new life to the churches of Trebbana, and now Gamogna Lozzole, in whose parish is Stabbia. It should be remembered that all this is Don Antonio in 2009 an honorary citizen of Marradi.
