ABSTRACT
Rome is a city full of “Madonnelle”, the roman word indicating the shrines on buildings along the streets.
Considered, depending on personal thought, simple architectural decorations, devotional and protective symbols, expressions of a secondary art or elements of street furniture, the sacred shrines are part of an important “historical-artistic-religious heritage” that must be preserved from oblivion and from destruction.
An heritage which must be known and observed with the proper attention because in some cases we are dealing with small masterpieces in that incredible open-air museum that is Rome. And it's right, even for a tourist, have way to discover them.
