Fonte del Poggiolo:
A 15c Madonnina

[image ALT: zzz. It is a madonnina, or wayside shrine depicting the Virgin Mary, near Montefalco, Umbria (central Italy).]

From thirty yards away, this edicola doesn't look like much of anything at all. Zoom by in a car, or for that matter walk around in the center of town just 300 meters from here with our nose in a guidebook looking at "sights" — we've all done that — and we'll never see this beautiful Virgin and Child, good, elegant work of the fifteenth century.

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
