In the Venezia Nuova quarter of Livorno, Italy, today, you can walk the same path that connects the former Filicchi house to the church of Saint Catherine of Siena where the young Elizabeth, despite being of the Anglican faith, daily sought refuge. Under the great frescoed dome of the church built in 1720 by the Dominican order, the baroque altar still exists where Elizabeth, deep in prayer, felt her first calling to convert to the Roman Catholic faith.
