Catholic Italy is Marian Italy with over a thousand Marian Shrines of which the Editor has chosen just 35 of the most beautiful, ornate and devotional ones, from one end of Italy to the other. The story of each shrine speaks of a compassionate Mother Mary appearing to the poor and simple. In a country ravaged by plagues, storms, droughts and other natural calamities over the centuries, Mary comes to relieve her children and give them many miraculous images (paintings and statues) to assure them of her presence. Many illustrations.
