In the 1800s, the statue lost its nose, which was later replaced with an iron one, now a good luck charm if touched. In 2010, its head was stolen but later found and restored to its rightful place.

Legend has it that Saint Mary Magdalene, fed up with the dishonesty of Antonio Rioba and his brothers, who were merchants, disguised herself as a noble widow looking to buy fine fabrics. When they tried to deceive her with an outrageous price for a common cloth, she decided to punish them.
