This remarkable portrait of the Virgin Mary is an extract from the Virgin of Montevergine, also known as the Hodegetria of Constantinople. The painting on pine wood 460 x 230 cm, probably around 1290 A.D. However, according to local legend the face was painted by St. Luke the evangelist and seems to actually stem from the 5th century.
