Rileggendo il volume di mons. Nicola Gambino: Fontanarosa tra religione popolare e retrospettiva storica e storiografica

Religiosity, faith, devotion, piety, these terms, taken together, have created the idea, especially since the second half of the twentieth century, that there is an individual way and a popular way of living the Christian faith. This is a motif that we find very present in the volume by Monsignor Nicola Gambino, elaborated during the 1970s, but based on cultural and spiritual suggestions that arose in the immediate post-war period, with the evocative title «Fontanarosa and the Madonna della Misericordia», which we intend to discuss here in a historical and historiographical retrospective vision.
