Testament to Miracles
Displayed in this Trecastagni's church's anteroom are thousands of paintings on tin dating back to the 1800s. They depict families' stories of challenges overcome and misfortune conquered. They attribute these 'miracles' of safety, health and healing to the three Saints that they invoked for protection.
Note the dates on the paintings. And on most paintings you can see the three saints.

I was looking for photos of Trecastagni and found yours. I lived at #5 Papa Giovanni in 1985. After 2 1/2 years in Sicily we moved to Hawaii. It was funny reading about you and seeing that we both had lived in the same places. Thank you for the photos. We are now stateside in Atlanta but hope to get back to Europe soon.
