Until the 50s the number of statues that made up the procession was well above the 'present, because they were the twelve statues that gave life to the Representation of the Sacred Passion of Christ.
Among these statues there were also those S. Peter and Veronica , Currently housed in two different niches in the Church of Carmine.
