Oratorio della Beata Vergine delle Grazie, Fanano

The Oratorio della Beata Vergine delle Grazie (Oratory of the Blessed Virgin of the Graces), also known as the Oratorio della Madonna del Ponte is a Roman Catholic chapel-like building, or small church, located in the town of Fanano in the province of Modena, region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. It is located near a bridge over the river Fellicarolo.

History

The oratory was erected in 1650 around an icon placed on an aedicule near the bridge. It was refurbished in the last century, and dedicated to those emigrating from the town. The plaque in front of the church recalls Felice Pedroni, one of the most prominent emigrants from Fanano. The main altar was constructed by the brothers Gherardini and houses a canvas depicting God the Father and Saints by Pellegrino da Fanano.[1]

gollark: Why is the entire first screen of it just a bizarre custom license?
gollark: Speaking of that, did you know the E-ink Kindle devices actually run a weird Linux distribution which is *also* very insecure?
gollark: I *honestly* think I could probably do a better job, although maybe they somehow can't fit security or sane programming into the resource-constrained environment.
