1) Iconographic and symbolic elements:
S. Simone: Identifies the depicted saint.
Ritratto in legno: Indicates the material and artistic technique.
* Sega: Specific iconographic attribute of Saint Simon the Zealot.
2) Religious meaning:
The "sega" is the traditional attribute of Saint Simon the Zealot, martyred according to tradition with this instrument. It symbolizes his martyrdom and unwavering faith. Wood, a noble and natural material, evokes the artisanal tradition and the sacredness of the work.

San Simone, known as the Cananeo or the Zelota, was one of the twelve Apostles of Jesus. His figure is often associated with Jude Thaddeus, with whom he shared martyrdom. Tradition holds that he preached in Persia and Mesopotamia, where he suffered martyrdom by beheading or, according to other sources, by sawing, hence the iconography that portrays him with a saw, a symbol of his torment. Venerated as the patron saint of woodcutters and lumberjacks, his feast day is October 28. His life and sacrifice are an example of unwavering faith and dedication to the Gospel message.
