This canvas <strong>is traditionally attributed to Nicol\u00f2 di Pietro.<\/strong> Recently, researchers have also suggested that the painting could be by Zanino di Pietro.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioned by Francesco Amadi, the painting found itself displayed outside on a street near the Amadi house. Here, it quickly became <strong>a popular votive image for those who lived in the neighbourhood<\/strong>. Over seventy years later, miracles are still attributed to the image.<\/p>\n<p>Religious and political leaders agreed that a small chapel should be built to house the painting. Thanks to offerings left by those who had visited the miraculous Madonna and Child, funds were readily available. <strong>to build such a structure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-556 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/bonjourvenise.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/santa-maria-dei-miracoli.jpg\" alt=\"santa maria dei miracoli\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/bonjourvenise.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/santa-maria-dei-miracoli.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/bonjourvenise.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/santa-maria-dei-miracoli-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bonjourvenise.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/santa-maria-dei-miracoli-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bonjourvenise.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/santa-maria-dei-miracoli-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bonjourvenise.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/santa-maria-dei-miracoli-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2048px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2048\/1536;\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc135139469\"><\/a><strong>Construction in constant evolution<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The church hired Pietro Lombardo to begin construction between 1481 and 1485. In 1485, Pope Sixtus IV issued a papal bull authorizing the construction of a larger church in honor of this Madonna. He also <strong>ordered that a convent be built there.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Pietro Lombardo received a new contract to expand the modest chapel into a church. The interior and exterior are adorned with colorful marble pieces, and these marble slabs surround finely carved cornices and several reliefs of saints and prophets. Many of these are the work of Pietro Lombardo himself.<\/p>\n<p>The Miracoli coffered ceiling, in painted and gilded wood. The latter, probably added in later phases of the church's construction, dates from before 1520. A staircase leads to the raised high altar, where the original votive image is displayed, <strong>decorated with sculptures by Tullio Lombardo.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc135139470\"><\/a><strong>Santa Maria dei Miracoli: unprecedented conservation efforts<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Venice's restoration efforts at the church of Santa Maria dei Miracoli were complete. After funding several years of preliminary research to determine the exact nature of the damage and degradation of the building, <strong>a complete overhaul of the church began in 1990.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Working simultaneously on the marble slabs and the sculptural decoration of the building's exterior and interior, the restorers systematically desalted and cleaned the church's stones from 1990 to 1997.<\/p>\n<p>Another major aspect of the campaign was the preservation of the coffered ceiling with its fifty-two wooden panels depicting saints and prophets and <strong>the discovery of frescoes of sibyls in the spandrels near the ceiling.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Every corner of the church restored<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Virtually every part of the church has undergone a thorough examination.<\/strong>including the presbytery's intarsia doors, the bronze statuary and candelabras on the high altar, and the wooden panel of the Miraculous Virgin from which the church takes its name.<\/p>\n<p>A watertight rose window is added to the fa\u00e7ade, and the church pews undergo major repairs.
