There is not much information on the historical events of this saint, who is associated with the figure of Saint Sulpice, both martyred in Rome in the 1st century A.D. San Servilianus is venerated on April 20th and is invoked to obtain the healing of debilitated children.
The tales of the statue in Dome’s building site:
The statue placed at the top of Spire G22 was created in 1953 by Giovanni Battista Perabò, and is a reproduction of the nineteenth-century original, which was instead sculpted in 1811 by Antonio Rusca. The little information on the statue tells us that until the early 20th century, San Serviliano was at the top of Spire G20 – currently occupied by the statue of San Mario – and then moved to its current position.
