Brossura. Condition: new. Genova, Museo Diocesano, 20 novembre 2025 - 23 febbraio 2026.A cura di P. Martini e Olcese Spingardi C.Genova, 2025; br., pp. 112, ill. col., cm 22x28. Amata trasversalmente dai regnanti e dalla gente del popolo, la "Quasi oliva speciosa in campis" gode tuttora di una diffusione mediatica che travalica i continenti entrando in tutte le case. Questa immagine della "Madonna con il Bambino", al contempo ieratica e materna, è stata tradotta in versioni e materiali diversi, dalla stoffa, al metallo, alla carta e altro ancora nei formati e nelle tipologie più disparati. Per la prima volta l'opera lascia la sua sede originaria, la chiesa di Santa Maria della Cella a Sampierdarena, e viene presentata a un pubblico allargato nel Museo Diocesano di Genova, nell'ambito di una mostra che ne ricostruisce la storia focalizzandosi anche sul suo autore, Nicolò Barabino, grande pittore del secondo Ottocento italiano ed europeo. Libro.
