Virgo Prudentissima

Virgo Prudentissima

 The construction of the monument is linked to the    Supreme Ponteialus’ invocation at the Easter Homily during the Marian Year 1987-1988, called to promote the reconciliation of Humanity with God, through the Virgin Mary: "In this Marian Year, be present in all the people of God’s ways, illuminated by the light of Christ”. To commemorate the Marian Year, the statue by Roberto Ioppolo was created, carved in white Carrara marble.

Standing in the Umbria-Lazio hills, the Virgin calls for   caution and ensures protection. The statue was erected   on the highway “Autostrada del Sole” (Orte-VT exit).   His Holiness John Paul II has kindly accepted the  invitation of the Highways Society to bless the Statue on  17 September 1989 and honor the ceremony with His  paternal presence
