With the expression Holy Family, in christian creed, is intended Jesus' family, mado of Jesus himself, Mary and Joseph.

Cross Lances is established in Florence (Italy) and couldn't realize works other than in renaissance style, which made our city so sumptuous.

The Renaissance is an artistic and cultural period in Europe's history, that born in Florenze between Middle Ages and modern era, in a time frame that span from middle of XIV sec. to XVI sec.

Renaissance, lived as an age of changes, created a new way of perceiving the world and themselves, developing ideas such as humanism influencing arts and current mentality.

To realize our sculptures, we selected some statues that actued as inspiration and reference.

From all the statues that array Florenze, two really reached us, both located at the church of Orsanmichele.

Saint Jacopo, was our main refence to realize Saint Joseph.

The statue of Saint Jacopo, attributed to Niccolò di Pietro Lamberti, is part of the group of fourteen statues of the art's protectors of Florence, in external niche of Orsanmichele's church. It was commissioned by Arte dei Vaiai e Pellicciaie and it's dated 1410-1422. It's made out of apuan marble and its 213 cm tall.
