La Madonna dell’Accoglienza

The work was commissioned and financed by Giulio and Giovanna Sacchetti Foundation. It is located at the corner of Palazzo Sforza Cesarini, between Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and Piazza Sforza Cesarini, and looks like one of the many votive wall shrines that typically punctuate the walls of ancient Roman buildings. The work resumes and revives the vernacular tradition to dedicate shrines to the Virgin Mary that is typical of Rome. This of Madonna dell’Accoglienza, symbol of hospitality, has a dark complexion with reference to the black Madonnas that are common object of devotion of both Western and Eastern Christian Churches.
