Peyton As Angel Of Death

The Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of San Luca



Là superbi archi in lungo ordin surgenti
per lo dorso de' colli, onde si poggia
a la beata cima, in cui s'appoggia
il vero onor de le felsinee genti.

Qui, dove a farne i cittadin contenti
pur alcun dì la diva Immago alloggia,
altari e templi di mirabil foggia
tengon occhi e pensier sospesi e intenti.

E forse il pellegrin mirando dice:
tanta pompa e splendor non vidi altrove;
ben sei tu gran città ricca e felice.

Neither knows that the oldest and one thousand nine of intra
povertade cause of the only helix,
Virgin, the only love so beautiful evidence.

( Selected Poems Abbot Locksmiths Domenico, Bologna,
at the brothers and fellow Masi, 1805)

The sanctuary Madonna di San Luca, who sits on the Colle della Guardia, the architect Carlo Francesco Dotti in Bologna, was one of the largest shipyards citizens of the eighteenth century and inaugurated in 1765 by the Cardinal Archbishop Vincent Malvezzi, after 42 years of work.
The sonnet dedicated to the cult of Mary celebrates this enterprise architecture so broad and solemn, that access to the city through the long arcades, is unique in the city has always been proud of.
