STP 5. Statue Pedestal.
Present location: Corazzo
243
Description: This pedestal has been missing since P. Orsi recorded it in 1915. Andrea and
Riccardo Bartoli relocated it in resort Corazzo, ca. 30 km inland from Croton, inside the
local church dedicated to St. Joseph.
This statue pedestal has been roughed out on only three sides, the fourth left unworked
and still showing the rock’s uneven surface. A smooth band is present at the top, but not at
the base. As has been the case for STP 4, this artifact has also been reutilized as a base for
a modern statue of St. Joseph.
Marble type: Proconnesian.
