conference for the inauguration of the restoration newsstand devotional S . Anna, on Court Street. Dr. Charles Nelli
INTRODUCTION There are many shrines, I counted 35 , you may encounter along the streets of the old town of Civita Castellana.
Therefore, the choice of restricting the field was almost obligatory. To this end, the reasoning that led me to talk about it some and not others has moved up two lines, excluding a priori the quality of the works, then explain why the choice fell on four operas, two of which resumed the subject of Anne, and the other two to the special kind .
FOLK ART
The devotional shrines, erected by popular piety, are the explicit example of how art is a reflection of the needs of the community , the neighborhood and the family, imbued with magical needs religious. If we want art then, the answer to the needs and requirements, then folk art, a term which tends to describe events as precisely newsstands devotional art does not mean the end of the second born in the nineteenth century to piano.Il enhance the production, which arose spontaneously from the soul popular.
The concept of folk art and as a result of "spontaneous demonstration" or collective ethos therefore results in the production of these artefacts that document the community, not as bearers of a single client and as a result of the exaltation of singularity, but true works of art of the people and for the people .
The simple character, and often serial that characterizes much of the production must not be misleading in the description and evaluation of these works.
devotional art, represented by the kiosks, is inspired official cult, but alive and is generated in the private worship as thanks for favors received, which already by ' antiquity represented the individual's direct communication with divinity .
