Iglesia de Santa María delle Giummare - Sciacca

Source: balarm.it

Description

La iglesia y el monasterio de Santa Maria di Valverde o delle Giummare fueron fundados a principios del siglo XII por la condesa normanda Julieta, famosa dama de Sciacca entre 1100 y 1136, que pasaba su tiempo libre cerca del pozo que lleva su nombre.

El nombre " delle Giummare " se deriva del tipo de palmera enana, localmente llamada " Giummara" .

Aparte de la portada y la ventana central, que son barrocas, el resto recuerda a un castillo medieval . La iglesia rompió el eje del monasterio "doble", habitado, como permitía el derecho canónico, por monjas y monjes cluniacenses. Dos palmeras enanas crecen a ambos lados del portal en memoria de la giummare (el nombre sacense de las palmeras).

La iglesia contiene obras de arte que incluyen lienzos de Gaspare Testone de Saccia, pinturas y frescos de Mariano Rossi.

Durante la guerra, el padre Michele Arena recogió aquí a los niños expósitos y les dio un hogar.
