Abstract
Karen McCluskey’s chapter “‘When the Fury of the Proud Sea Re-awoke’: Water, Devotion and Lived Experience in Renaissance Venice” uses an array of hagiographic sources, both written and pictorial, to determine the extent to which water shaped the way Venetians fashioned and engaged with their holy helpers; to uncover Venetian attitudes towards water; and to understand how Venetians coped with their exceptional ecological environment on a day-to-day basis. Such evidence shows that despite an apparent confidence on the seas, Venetians harboured fears and anxieties in relation to water – fears and anxieties that were met head on by devotion to their contingent of local saints.

The fifteenth-century transcription of the fourteenth-century sermon is recorded by the Bollandists in an anonymous mid-fourteenth-century Sermo, Societé des Bollandistes, ed. Acta sanctorum , September VI, 654–55. It is also transcribed in Corner (1749, 94–99). On Pietro’s life generally, see Corner (1758, 418–21; 1759).

[Sed Cristum considerans se exinanisse et formam servi accepisse…omnia terrena et transitoria despexit. Cristum pauperem suum fecit herdem, pauperior cunctis pauperibus apparere volebat]’.

Societé des Bollandistes, ed. Acta sanctorum , September VI, 654: ‘That particular, most blessed Pietro filled his skiff, his small boat, with firewood, bread and oil, and sailed through very strong wind and the deluges of the seas and took those things to those who were dying and for those unwilling to leave their homes.’ [Iste beatissimus Petrus implebat naviculam suam, sue barcam, lignis, pane et oleo, et navigabat per tam validum ventum et inondationes aquarum et portabat fame pereuntibus et non volentibus exire domos eorum.] Corner, Notizie storiche, 420.

‘her father forbade the servants, who were contracted to sail the gondola belonging to the family on a certain day, with a stern command’. [indeque famulis, qui ad domesticam cymbam vehendam conducti erant, severo jussu pater ejus quadam die prohiberet].’ The social expectation is addressed in Clare of Assisi’s thirteenth-century written Vita and painted Vita panel. In the narratives, the young Clare who, leaving her noble home to join the Franciscan movement, is shown accompanied by her ladies-in-waiting who commend her to Francis. Wood (1996, 14–15), discusses the theme.
- 64.
Females who showed outward signs of God’s favour, often chastised themselves for being such an unworthy vessel for the demonstration of God’s power. In her biographies Catherine of Siena is often seen expressing her shame at being a privileged servant of God. The most obvious example is her request to Christ to have the marks of her stigmata transparent, retaining only the accompanying pain. Societé des Bollandistes, ed. Acta Sanctorum , April III, 875.
- 65.
In the hagiographic literature, the pious attempts of saintly girls and young women to follow a religious vocation are often portrayed as a struggle against a patriarchal figure. On becoming a nun contrary to family wishes, see Wood (1996, 2).

Marco Barbaro’s fifteenth century report is transcribed in Societé des Bollandistes, ed. Acta Sanctorum , September III, 311: ‘the body of whom is honoured as a blessed soul in an altar in the church of San Vito, on which I saw a piece of cloth, of an ancient type with the emblem of Cà Tagliapiera’. [il Corpo della quale come d’anima beata s’onora nella Chiesa di San Vito in uno Altare, al quale ho veduto un panno di razzo antiquissimo con l’arma da Cà Tagliapiera.]

Sansovino, Venezia città nobilissima, 90: ‘Ecclesia San Vio […] nobilitata prima per lo corpo della beata Contessa Tagliapietra et poi per l’andata del Principe che la visita ogni anno’. Marco Barbaro also mentions the inclusion of the Arms of the Tagliapietra family on the altar which bears her relics in his fifteenth-century appraisal of the site, now in Societé des Bollandistes, ed. Acta Sanctorum , September III, 311.
- 69.
Corner, Ecclesiae Venetae, 109; and Corner, Notizie storiche, 431, mentions that in 1702 her relics were transferred from a wooden casket in the altar of John the Evangelist to a new marble arca above the altar of Anthony Abbot.

The ritual and miracles associated with her safeguarding of children are recorded in De Biasi, Causa di Beatificazione di Contessa Tagliapietra. Lina Urban mentions that by 1310 an annual procession already took place at San Vio in honour of Contessa Tagliapietra, who had died two years previously, although she does not cite specific evidence to attest to this statement. See Urban (1994, 191–202).
