Votive pillars

 

 

Votive pillars are a witness of the strong

religious sentiment of this territory.

 

Most of these are privates, every family

who believed to have received a grace,

built or got to build one of these.

Then the pillars were decorated with paintings

and dedications to the saint they wanted to thank.

 

Votive pillars were built whether into

the little villages, close to the house of customer family,

or along the most frequented paths or in the intersections of different paths.
