Clement X. Statue created circa 1671. The statue is part of a group of sixteen statues that were installed between August 1670 and March 1673. The Sculptor, Lazzaro Morelli, worked from January to March 1671 on the statue. He was paid 80 scudi for the work. The Saint is in the act of writing out The Rule for his Religious Order. Saint Cajetan, originally from Naples, was the Founder of The Congregation of Clerics Regular, also known as The Theatines. He also worked as a diplomat for Pope Julius II, and was fortunate to escape with his life during the Sack of Rome in 1527.

The following Text is from CATHOLIC CULTURE
Saint Cajetan was Ordained Priest in 1516. He left the Papal Court and dedicated himself entirely to the service of The Lord. With his own hands, he cared for the sick. Such zeal did he show for the salvation of his fellowmen, that he was surnamed the “huntsman for Souls.”
Saint Cajetan often Prayed eight hours daily. While attending the Christmas Celebration at Saint Mary Of The Crib, he is said to have been given the Grace, of receiving from Mary, the Child Jesus into his arms.
Saint Cajetan Founded, in 1524, a Community of Priests who were to lead an Apostolic life. They were to look with disdain on all Earthly belongings, to accept no salaries from The Faithful; only from that which was freely donated were they allowed to retain the means of livelihood.
He founded a Bank to help The Poor and offer an alternative to usurers (loan sharks). It later became The Bank of Naples. His concern for the unemployed, giving them the necessary financial help in their time of need, made him their Patron. His Feast Day is Celebrated on 7 August.
