Roberto Ferruzzi artist of Madonnina
Ferruzzi's first exhibition of the painting was in Venice Italy, in 1897. Roberto Ferruzzi's beautiful painting of the "Madonnina" was given to me by my daughter Maria. Her boss brought it back with him from a recent trip to Italy. It is very beautiful, and she asked me to do some research about the painting.
Apparently, the painting has been referred to with several names. Another title used has been "Madonna of the Streets." However, there was some resentment from the town's people that the title was not appropriate, because of the connection of Madonna and streets. The name "Madonnina" refers to "little mother." because she is holding a child. The child she is holding was her baby brother.
Sister Angela Marie Bovo a Catholic nun from the Order of St. Joseph of Carondelet, discovered the "Madonnina" in the picture was her mother, and began her search about the picture.
The St. Anthony Messenger magazine published a story relative to history of the picture. January 2000 issue.

this has to be the most beautiful picture to me. The first time I saw it was on a prayer card for Pope John Paul. I carried that card for months until I lost it. I would love to have a copy of the picture to hang in my home and my little girl's room. Do you know where one can be purchased?

I have the original painting of Madonna of the Streets. The title is La Damina-little dame. Roberto Tassi of Italy has said this is the original. It was found in a home of a collector who died behind a bookcase.
Anyone who can help this come to light please email me.
