Description
The volume is the catalogue of the exhibition Affidarsi al cielo: arte e devozione a Montagnaga di Piné held in Trento at the Museo diocesano Tridentino from 25 April to 7 September 2015 and at Torre Vanga from 4 July to 27 September 2015.
Ex votos are probably the most authentic expression of popular religiosity, the result of a widespread and shared sentiment of devotion that characterises the history of our communities and represents a founding factor. At the same time, they convey intense artistic representations that know how to communicate important values, emotions, and - ultimately - the spirit of an era. This is why the exhibition of ex-votos from the Marian Sanctuary of Montagnaga di Piné, hosted by the Tridentine Diocesan Museum, is not only an "exhibition", but also a new page in history that, after careful restoration and research by the Superintendence for Cultural Heritage, gives us a more complete view of the Sanctuary and, with it, the detailed account of the Faith experienced by pilgrims and the people.
