In the parish of San Nicola Magno of Santa Maria a Vico (CE) there are numerous Marian icons reproduced on canvas or carved in different materials that testify to the great cult of the Mother of God of the first inhabitants of the ancient "Casale del Figliarino". In 1627, the parish priests Fr Flavio Cioffi and Fr Marcello Vellaccio erected to the right of the high altar the chapel of Santa Maria della Nova, in which the following year a confraternity with the same name was founded; moreover, towards 1644 the chapel was embellished by a golden icon depicting the Madonna holding the Child among the saints Anna, Gioacchino and Antonio da Padova. This painting, restored in 2015, turned out to be the only known autograph work of the Spanish Juan Do (Giovanni Dose), one of the students of Ribera, active in Naples until 1656.

First off I want to say superb blog! I had a quick question that I'd like to ask if
you do not mind. I was curious to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
I have had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
I do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to
15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints?
Kudos!
