Reliquary theca with a relic of St. Andrea Corsini, Bishop of Fiesole

Oval glass-fronted silvered brass pendant reliquary theca housing the first- and second-class Ex carne et ex subuculo (of the flesh and the undergarment) relics of Saint Andrea Corsini. The relics are affixed to a ground of red silk, surrounded by a silver wire ornamentation and identified in Latin on a fancy manuscript cedula label as Ex Carne, & ex Subuc. S. Andreae Corsinii // Episc. Fesul. (of the flesh and the undergarment of Saint Andrea Corsini, Bishop of Fiesole). On the back, the reliquary is secured by the perfectly preserved seal of red Spanish wax with a coat of arms of Fr. Francesco Maria Ginori (†1775), Bishop of Fiesole, Italy (1736–1775).

Saint Andrea Corsini (†1373) was an Italian Catholic prelate and professed member of the Carmelites who served as the Bishop of Fiesole from 1349 until his death. Corsini led a wild and dissolute life until a rebuke from his mother moved him to go to the Santa Maria del Carmine church where he resolved to join the Carmelites as a priest and friar. He exercised various roles in the order, until reluctantly he accepted his episcopal position. To accept that position, he imposed greater mortifications upon himself than that required by the order, and dedicated himself to the plight of the poor. Devotion to the late bishop became so profound after his death that miracles were reported at his tomb. The longstanding and popular devotion to Corsini led to Pope Eugene IV confirming his beatification on 21 April 1440 and Pope Urban VIII canonizing him as a saint on 22 April 1629.
