Oh my! Lovely readers, I can hardly contain myself! From the simplest to the most elaborate, did you know that there are countless shrines peppered throughout Italy – on exterior walls, in Grottos in the squares, along obscure pathways and by busy main thoroughfare. I love the thrill of finding them. Each one unique in both detail and the loving and devout attention bestowed upon them. Most I’ve found so far have been devoted to the Virgin Mary though various saints are also honored. I am now on a mission to capture more, camera at the ready…meanwhile enjoy those I’ve found thus far…
