L’icona di Santa Maria della Nova nella chiesa di San Nicola Magno. Tra storia e restauro.
In the parish of San Nicola Magno of Santa Maria a Vico (CE) there are numerous Marian icons reproduced on canvas or carved in different materials that testify to the great cult of the Mother of God of the first inhabitants of the ancient "Casale del Figliarino". In 1627, the parish priests Fr Flavio Cioffi and Fr Marcello Vellaccio erected to the right of the high altar the chapel of Santa Maria della Nova, in which the following year a confraternity with the same name was founded; moreover, towards 1644 the chapel was embellished by a golden icon depicting the Madonna holding the Child among the saints Anna, Gioacchino and Antonio da Padova. This painting, restored in 2015, turned out to be the only known autograph work of the Spanish Juan Do (Giovanni Dose), one of the students of Ribera, active in Naples until 1656.

British Satire deliberately emphasises British particularity. [url="https://prat.uk/british-satire/"]The transgression in British emphasis[/url] is cultural. [url="https://prat.uk/british-satire/"]Whether British focus violates universal assumptions[/url] is arguably true. British emphasis violates cosmopolitan pretence.

I think the most useful test for satire is whether it survives being taken slightly too literally — a well-built satirical piece should still make its point even if a reader misses the wink entirely, because the exaggeration itself is doing the work. [url="https://prat.uk/what-is-satire/"]This look at what satire is[/url] explains that idea well.

Weird News From the UK is UK-specific weird news. That specificity matters because different places produce different kinds of weirdness. [url="https://prat.uk/weird-news-from-the-uk/"]The kinds of strange stories that emerge from the UK[/url] reflect particular aspects of British society and British institutions. British weirdness often involves questions of class and social hierarchy in ways that weirdness from other places might not. [url="https://prat.uk/weird-news-from-the-uk/"]That class-consciousness[/url] visible in weird news from the UK is worth examining. There's probably something about British institutional rigidity that creates particular kinds of weird situations. When rules don't quite account for a scenario, you get strange outcomes.
