This is the beautiful Madonna del Carmine di Tornareccio
Staring, Madonna binds the soul to a feeling of inner goodness and happiness to give the impression of being the mother of us all and not only the Mother of God and such humanity and leads to a kind of serene confidence so that more is gained and heartfelt prayer feeds.
The pudgy Child seems to want to break away from his mother's knee to go down and leave the square to jig with children of the region.
The whole forms a lively and warm image of motherhood and, perhaps for the simplicity of the environment or the reigning silence, we are puzzled and distraught.
Dr. Antonio D'Ercole (1959)
