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.

Hi there! I realize this is somewhat off-topic but I
needed to ask. Does running a well-established blog like yours take a lot of work?
I'm completely new to running a blog but I do write in my diary everyday.
I'd like to start a blog so I will be able
to share my own experience and views online. Please let me know
if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
Appreciate it!
