Crown found after, like, 300 years

///In 1685, Vittoria della Rovere (portrait on the right), the Grand Duchess of Tuscany and the wife of Grand Duke Ferdinando II commissioned a gem-studded gold crown that she donated to the Carmelite nuns of Borgo Pinti in Florence as a symbol of her devotion to a new canonized saint, Maria Maddalena dè Pazzi, famous for her spiritual ecstasies.

That crown, embellished with 412 diamonds, 114 rubies, and 80 emeralds, was thought to have been lost–hidden away during the Napoleonic raids of the early 19th century–but it has been recently rediscovered in a convent in Florence, according to Piero Pacini, a scholar of Santa Maria Maddalena dè Pazzi, who has published photographs and an article about the crown in Medicea. Rivista interdisciplinare di studi medicei, an academic journal devoted to the study of the Medici family.

The crown for the saint was made by Giovanni Comparini and Giuseppe Vanni–the two goldsmiths that most often had the privilege of serving the Medici family in the 17th century–and cost 1800 scudi. It was begun in the summer of 1684, when Vittoria della Rovere, along with her goldsmiths, paid an unexpected visit to the Carmelite convent at Borgo Pinti and ordered the nuns to show her all the jewels that “belonged” to the saint. The Grand Duchess told the nuns that she intended to use the jewels to have a crown made for the saint and the project was completed in 10 months. For about two centuries after the crown was finished, it displayed to the saint’s faithful devotees on occasions when the saint’s incorruptible body was exposed and venerated.\\\
