Madonna del Pilone






The church Madonna del Pilone (Our Lady of the Pillar) in Turin, between the river Po and the hills, derives its name from a column erected in 1587 in honor of the Virgin Mary. From 1644 it was considered miracolous and became an object of veneration: records show that in March 1645 a small chapel already existed on this site attracting large numbers of worshippers. The construction of the church began after 1645. The bell tower was added in 1787.

The image of Mary and the angel is especially touching.
May there be many more miracles here.

Pietro, a very happy summer to you. The countryside looks so delightfully rural. I enjoy the painting Improvisation, you have given the viewer their own interpretation.
