Wayside Shrines of Tuscany
— a very small sampler —

[MissingALT. It is the upper story of a wayside shrine near Mercatale, Tuscany (central Italy).]
Mercatale
3/29/14 — 1 edicola
[A bit of rudely stuccoed stone wall with part of a brick arch and its wooden door, but mostly, on the right, a niche, about 30 cm square, with a plaster medallion of the Madonna and Child surrounded by stylized flowers and vines. It is a madonnina, or wayside shrine to the Virgin Mary, on a garage in the village of Pierle in Tuscany (central Italy).]
Pierle

[A path thru two steep rock faces some 10 meters tall. The rock face on the left has fallen over the path, and is precariously held in place by the other. A grilled niche in it includes a fresco, apparently of St. Joseph. It is an edicola, or wayside shrine, in the Via Cava S. Giuseppe, near Pitigliano, Tuscany (central Italy).]
