The sacred kiosks
The sacred kiosks of Naples are innumerable in the oldest part of the city and constitute precious forms of art and religious architecture born as a symbol of both private and popular devotion. They constitute a precious heritage rich in artistic styles and have their roots in ancient times and spread to the present day. Among the reasons that unite the construction of sacred sanctuaries, there are undoubtedly those inherent in the graces received and those relating to petitions. Finally, the Neapolitan religiosity, characterized by the absence of dogmas and capable of mixing even magical and religious rituals, meant that the votive sanctuary, in particular the private one, highlighted the family relationship that the devotee had created with his sacred references.

Quella delle edicole votive è una tradizione antica e molto sentita, specie tra le masse proletarie.Ciao, Emilio
