St Veronica (1632) is a sculpture by Francesco Mochi, at the Basilica of San Pietro in Vaticano, Rome, Italy.
Made between 1629 and 1639, the sculpture of St Veronica by Francesco Mochi is one of the four larger-than-life statues at the corners of the crossing of St. Peter's Basilica. The other three statues are Bernini's Saint Longinus, Duquesnoy's St Andrew, and Bolgi's St. Helena. Each statue depicts a venerated relic, which at the time, was the property of the Pope and St. Peters.
