Treasures from the Valnerina
The dressed Madonnas
National Museum of the Duchy of Spoleto – Rocca Albornoz
Mezz’ora dopo la chiusura, the event organized by Sistema Museo, returns on Friday May 5, 2017 at 18.30 at Rocca Albornoz with a visit entitled: Treasures from the Valnerina – The dressed Madonnas.
The event is dedicated to the exhibition featuring works from the areas that were struck by the 2016 earthquake and it will focus on the “statues to dress”, i.e. mannequins representing the Virgin, or Saints, who were richly decked up with dresses and jewels. This production, which is still under-analyzed, is a phenomenon of great interest both from the artistic point of view and for the knowledge of the history of costume, and also because it symbolizes the devotion that the popular tradition attributed to these simulacra.
The evening continues in a fortress’ room with a tasting of typical products and the new Lavazza Firma coffee line.
Thanks to Con Spoleto – Consorzio Albergatori di Spoleto and D.A. Distribuzione Automatica for supporting the event.
