The Madonna della noce: the visual story of a miracle

CYCLE: Reintegrations: from deposits to the visitor route
SPEAKER: Michele Maccherini
DATE: Thursday 12 June, 6 pm

The panel depicts a fascinating and rare iconography linked to the cult of the Madonna in a rural context, regulated by the alternation of seasonal work. This piece, originally from the Sanctuary of Madonna della Noce, has been assigned to the Umbrian-Abruzzese artistic circle of the early 16th century, an area where Saturnino Gatti was a dominant figure. The painting has been catalogued by Dr. Francesca Mari.

Michele Maccherini has been Professor of Modern Art History at the University of L'Aquila since 2004. Previously, he directed the civic museums of San Gimignano. Currently, he is president of the degree course in Cultural Heritage and referent for the Polo Museale of the University of L'Aquila. His research focuses on 16th and early 17th century Sienese painting, early 17th century Roman art and collecting, and L'Aquila art in the modern age.
