A French saint in a Roman garden: Joan of Arc, at the stake, between Sant'Alessio and Santa Sabina on the Aventine. A French sculptor gave her to Rome in 1935, but the war got in the way and she only reached this garden in 1954\. Even a saint waits for the paperwork. Nineteen years waiting for a spot is not bad by Roman standards. RR
