I Madonnari delle Grazie (MN)

            Ferragosto 2018. Madonna delle Grazie, Curtatone (MN). Annual international exhibition of religious chalk drawings, a tradition called in Italy “I Madonnari” (Meaning those who paint the Holy Virgin). Held in the Sanctuary of Madonna delle Grazie, near Mantua. The church, behind a very ordinary front facade, is fully decorated with unexpected, awesome but also odd baroque decorations, reminiscent of Morescos/Spanish/Portuguese influences. Many people showing true devoting habits of pilgrimage mixed with tourists have been recollected by the event. 
At the back of the church the Mincio river, with its wonderful lotus flowers, and in the square in front of the Church the works of the artists. A very colorful day recorded in this sequence, where search for beauty, inquisitiveness, faith, stand all together, frequently merged in the same person, as for myself, but certainly not only.

N.B.!!!
If anyone feels offended by being portrayed in these pictures, please let me know, so I can remove the photo from the stream,
Se qualcuno si sentisse offeso dall’essere ritratto in queste immagini me lo faccia sapere così da poterle rimuovere
