Claim: The legend of Restituta recounted by Lorenzo de' Medici claims that after being tortured  Restituta was placed in a blazing boat but was unharmed by the fire.
Evidence: A later medieval legend, recounted by Pietro Suddiacono in the 10th century and similar to legends associated with Saints Devota, Reparata, and Torpes of Pisa, states that after being horribly tortured, Restituta was placed in a blazing boat loaded with oakum and resin.
