They are years rich in the wise teachings of our holy Mother, under whose guidance fervor was continuous; years of fast growth in the number of vocations, and of further development evidenced by the opening of twelve more Houses. Trials are not wanting: death is still claiming victims among the young Sisters, yet these occasions bring to light such virtue as to leave no doubt about the supernatural richness of the primitive spirit. As in the preceding volumes, the narrative follows a year by year pattern interspersed with brief indications of the various events, which, as already explained, correspond to the marginal notes of the original manuscript.

  • The Places of Faith: the Religious Hospitality in the Italian Sanctuaries in the Early Modern Age
    The places of faith: the religious hospitality in the Italian sanctuaries in the Early Modern Age Dr. Silvia Beltramo Politecnico di Torino, Italy [email protected] Biographies Silvia Beltramo is a researcher in Architectural History at the Politecnico di Torino and, from the same university, received a PhD in History and Critic of Architecture. In the 2012 she was selected as expert to examine applications for the Cultural Route of the Council of Europe certification. Her researches focuses on history of the architecture and the city in medieval and modern period; cultural heritage, cultural routes and tourism itineraries, cultural project for the promotion of local areas, territorial analysis and cultural identity. Abstract Since the Middle Ages, Northern Italy has been characterized as a territory of pilgrimages to monasteries, sanctuaries and Sacred Mounts. The sources testify a significant proliferation of hosteriae and hospitali in the main religious settlements, more precisely since the 12th century in the monasteries and since the 14th century in the sanctuaries. An authentic architecture of hospitality can be identified in the centres of Piedmont and Lombardy. The proposal, which is the outcome of a research in progress, intends to deepen in detail some meaningful examples amongst the main Italian sanctuaries – namely: Oropa (Piedmont), Tirano (Lombardy), Loreto (Marche) - analyzing the solutions adopted to host the wayfarers: the hospitality spaces which have characterized the architecture dedicated to pilgrims from the Middle Ages to the Modern Era. Introduction The strong affluence of pilgrims soon determined a veritable culture of hospitality, which was manifested by the building of new spaces dedicated to guest quarters.

  • The Lives and Afterlives of Shrine Madonnas
    The Lives and Afterlives of Shrine Madonnas Elina Gertsman A decade ago, a well-known statue of the Virgin and Child stood in the Parish Church of San Martino at Antagnod in the Valle d’Aosta (Piedmont, Italy). It was feverishly revered; it wrought miracles. Dressed in sumptuous vestments of white and gold, each wearing a silk triregnum, Mary and Child were enthroned in the niche of one of the lateral altars. The statue derived its efficacy from being a simulacrum: burnished black, it was a copy of another, and quite famous, Black Virgin from the nearby sanctuary of Oropa, in Biella, Piedmont. Fig.1. The Shrine Madonna, Antagnod, Ayas, Valle d'Aosta, wood, mid-14th century, now at the Museo parrochiale di San Martino, Piedmont, Italy. Photo: Fulci Alessandro. 1 Below the opulent garments, however, the statue was discovered to be partially a dressmaker’s dummy: a much smaller sculpture of the Virgin and Child affixed to a wooden base of about 27 cm in height. The discovery was made in 2005 by Rosella Obert and Alina Piazza, who pointed out hinges in the back of the sculpture and what seemed to be a crack running down from Mary’s chest to her feet.1 The Virgin’s body opened like a cupboard, revealing carved and painted images within (fig. 1). At the center, directly below the chest, is the Throne of Mercy: God the Father, the dove of the Holy Spirit issuing from his mouth, holds a cross with the crucified Christ. Flanking the Trinity, on the sides of Mary’s body, are two angels holding censers.

  • The Norwegian Stavkirke and the Spazio Anzi. Continuity and Discontinuity in Social Representation and in Myth by Renzo Carli* and Rosa Maria Paniccia**
    The Norwegian stavkirke and the spazio anzi. Continuity and discontinuity in social representation and in myth by Renzo Carli* and Rosa Maria Paniccia** Abstract The stavkirke is a medieval church build entirely of wood, common in Norway during the early Christianisation of the country. In a perspective of discontinuity, these churches marked the country’s change from Viking paganism to Christianity. An interpretation based on emotional continuity, put forward in this article, sees the stavkirke as an important example of the complex transition between paganism, present in the country’s farming cultures, and Christianity imposed by the rulers who intended to achieve the unification of the country under a single religion. An analysis of the structure of the church allows the formulation of hypotheses about the confusion of pagan and Christian categories in various parts of the stavkirke. A psychoanalytical reading is given of the relation between continuity and discontinuity, which the authors believe is fundamental to the “spazio anzi”, that is, the confusion of categories that enables the mind’s unconscious mode to be expressed and then defined in discontinuous, and therefore historical, expressions. The spazio anzi is proposed as the dynamic grounding cultural change. Key words: Medieval, Norway, unconscious, continuity/discontinuity, cultures, collusion. Introduction Over twenty years ago we put forward the notion of spazio anzi (Carli & Paniccia, 1984) as the dynamic grounded on the confusion of categories, which allows change and underlies social action. “It is the case of the medieval artist who mixes classical motifs and medieval themes or vice versa; it is the case of Christopher Columbus who used mythical elements mixed with current knowledge to justify his exploration.

They are years of great fervor and vitality which mark the first bloom of the primitive spirit, the first foundations in Italy and abroad and the first two missionary expeditions for Uruguay and Argentina. They are fruitful years characterized by frequent bereavements, and by unusual trials which reveal, through the insidious intervention of the enemy, the greatness of the mission entrusted to the Institute, and bring into relief the extraordinary assistance from on high which accompanied it from the very outset.

LTD., I'RINTERS, PLYMOUTH Introduction THE publication of a new and revised edition of " Alps and Sanctuaries " at a much reduced price and in a handier and more portable form than the original will, I hope, draw general attention to a book which has been undeservedly neglected. " Alps and Sanctuaries " has hitherto been the Cinderella of the Butler family.^ While her sisters, both elder and younger, have been steadily winning their way to high places at the feast, she has sat unrecognised and unhonoured in the ashes. For this, of course, the high price of the book, which was originally issued at a guinea, was largely responsible, as well as its unmanageable size and cumbrousness. But Time has revenges in his wallet for books as 4re\l as for men, and I cannot but believe that a new life is in store for one of the wisest, wittiest and tenderest of Butler's books.
