The Battle of Lepanto, in stucco, by Giacomo Serpotta

The Italian sculptor Giacomo Serpotta's stucco panel on the rear wall of the Oratorio del Rosario di Santa Cita (St Zita) in Palermo depicts scenes from the New Testament and of the Battle of Lepanto. Two images of the rear wall are below the break.

'[Serpotta's] “secret” was to add marble dust to the lime and plaster that hitherto had normally been used to make the stucco: this marble dust gave the statues an exceptional surface brilliance. This technique’s drawback was that the stucco had to be worked with great rapidity before it dried out, which meant that the artist had to be particularly imaginative in the way he improvised faces, gestures, and ornamentations.'

Is it Pope Pius V imploring the Virgin for aid?

santa cita, no te conocía pero al saber de ti, pongo las intensiones de mi corazón en tus manos humildes de sierva, concedeme de Jesús y María la santificación de toda mi familia, mis padres y mis hijos.

te imploro que mi empleada logre sentir la presencia de María en su familia y en la relaciones deshechas de sus parientes antes de que la muerte sorprenda a su mamà.

te quiero mucho

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind;Gucci bag it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a

matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.

This bruise was visible immediately.Gucci handbags A second, even larger bruised emerged over the succeeding days higher up on the

same leg. Similar uncertainty as to its origins.
