Entrusting oneself to heaven: art and devotion in Montagnaga di Piné

edited by Katia Malatesta. Autonomous Province of Trento, Superintendence for Cultural Heritage, 2015

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.
