(Italiano) Purgatorio ad Arco, notte della Befana tra le anime pezzentelle

Charme — Wed, 02 Jan 2019 15:07:02 +0000

Sorry, this entry is only available in Italiano.

Le anime pezzentelle del Purgatorio ad Arco destano un crescente interesse turistico. La mostra “Ritorno. Il culto delle anime pezzentelle“, curata da Francesca Amirante, è stata infatti visitata in poche settimane già da 5 mila visitatori. Per festeggiare il nuovo anno, la notte della Befana la mostra sarà aperta per una visita serale straordinaria. Il Complesso museale di Santa Maria delle Anime del Purgatorio ad Arco ha infatti deciso di restare aperto la notte del 5 gennaio, dalle ore 19 fino alle 23.

Sarà possibile visitare così la mostra “Ritorno. Il culto delle anime pezzentelle” e anche il Complesso museale, grazie a visite guidate della durata di 40 minuti, che partiranno a orari stabiliti: alle 20, 21 e alle 22.

La mostra, che chiuderà i battenti il 17 gennaio, è un’esposizione unica e prima nel suo genere: raccoglie oltre cento anime del Purgatorio in terracotta dipinta del periodo fra il XIX e il XX secolo, acquisite dall’Opera Pia Purgatorio ad Arco e provenienti da una collezione privata, un tempo venerate all’interno delle edicole scomparse.

Ancora oggi, girando per i vicoli di Napoli, è possibile imbattersi nelle “grotte” delle anime del purgatorio, che richiamano la simbologia della grotta presepiale. Il giorno dell’Epifania il presepe popolare napoletano veniva svuotato dalle statuette pastorali e queste erano sostituite dalle anime purganti in terracotta.

Il presepe delle anime restava poi esposto fino al 17 gennaio, giorno dedicato alla festa di Sant’Antonio Abate, durante la quale, la struttura del presepe, lo scoglio, veniva bruciato insieme agli oggetti vecchi nei cosiddetti “fucarazzi.

Santa Maria del Purgatorio ad Arco, la mostra “Ritorno. l culto delle anime pezzentelle”

La mostra coinvolge l’intera chiesa, dalla sagrestia all’ipogeo e comprende diverse figure di anime purganti: da gruppi interi a una serie di anime a mezzo busto avvolte dalle fiamme e imploranti penitenza e perdono a un gran numero di Addolorate singole, di Crocifissi, di teschi e di accessori.

Nello spazio dell’ipogeo, inoltre, è proiettato un video-racconto di Gualtiero Peirce dal titolo “Vi aspettiamo per il rinfresco”, che rappresenta una vera e propria opera autonoma dedicata ai visitatori al termine del percorso delle mostra.

In Boscotrecase relives the secular Franciscan Fraternity

Charme — Fri, 24 Apr 2015 16:57:34 +0000

The Franciscan community is celebrating. During a Mass celebrated by Friar Francesco Mauro Del Grosso was made public a decree by which among Agostino Esposito, Provincial Minister of the Friars Minor of Naples and Caserta, has ordered the “revival” of the Fraternity of lay Boscotrecase, in the province of Naples. The solemn ceremony was attended by the President of the Franciscan lay people of Campania, Michele Ortaglio and representation of citizens emotionally tied to the small temple of Via Carlo Alberto. The measure, read in the presence of Fr Rosario Petrullo, parish rector of the Church of St. Anna – where, initially, the community saw the light in 1883 thanks to the foresight of the then parish priest Giuseppe Izzo – ensures a secure future and the possibility, relatively quickly, getting the indispensable generational turnover between the devotees of Francis of Assisi. Before the celebration of Francesco Mauro Del Grosso, and the president Ortaglio visited the Minister Emeritus Giuseppe Ciro Noto. “Don Peppino – have said the two, along with the regent of the fraternity – has been and remains a landmark. Is the grandfather of all we Franciscans and, thanks to his experience in the field, will continue to dispense advice to young people”. At the end of the Mass, a copy of the decree was handed symbolically to Rosa Liguori who, at 103 years, is the most tertiary ‘long-lived’ and is “always ready to encourage more young people not to surrender to the moral degradation that is characterizing recent times”.
