Our Lady of Pompeii - Ruins, Religion, and Memory

Our Lady of Pompeii tells the story of the Catholic shrine in the new town of Pompeii, located next to the archaeological excavations. It primarily focuses on the main period of the shrine's growth from 1876–1890, and shows how the ruined city of Pompeii became part of the shrine's identity, inspiring artists, writers, and pilgrims alike.
