I've seen and photographed this little devotional edifice, some 50 meters maybe from the parish church of S. Martino, but can tell you no more about it than what we see:
While the main subject of the shrine is the Virgin Mother and Child, above them looms the Paraclete, and to their right and left two bishops, too generically drawn, as well as damaged, to identify: St. Nicholas and St. Augustine would be good candidates, as might others.
|
The large crowns that Jesus and Mary wear are somewhat unusual: heraldically, they are the crowns not of royalty, but of marquesses. An unintentional slip by a painter — early 19c is my guess — who wasn't very good in other ways either; but then don't ask me to draw even half as well.

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