The private chapel of our Lady’s Daughters of the Jesus’ Sacred Heart.

The private Chapel of our Lady’s Daughters deserves a particular attention for its 5 polychrome mosaics made in 1973 by the company A. Mellini in Florence.
They are valuable works for their workmanship and important for the novelty of the represented figures.

1. Behind the altar there is a big mosaic which represents our Lady of Sorrows (the patron of the Our Lady’s Daughters) in a cave which has a rose shoot and some lilies hanged on its sides. At the bottom an interlacement of ears of wheat and some vine branches.

2. On the right of the mosaic, towards the altar, there is a tabernacle wholly covered with mosaic. On the little door, in a big white host which emanates sunbeams, it’s represented the Christ’s Heart crowned with thorns and surmounted by the flames which surrounds a cross. Above the little door there is the Eucharistic symbol of the pelican which feeds its babies on its own bowels. On the sides of the little door two fountains which water gushes in and where some white doves water.

3. On the left wall of the presbytery there is a rectangular mosaic which represents the Lamb of the Apocalypse, placed on the book of the seven seals, which bears the Vexillum of the risen Christ. On the sides two adoring angels.

4. A round arch contains the presbytery and on the sides of this arch are placed two rectangular mosaics about 4 m high and and 70 cm wide. They represent the archangel Saint Michael on the right, while he’s crushing the dragon, and Saint Joseph who carries the Jesus Child in his arms on the left. Both are represented on a column which bears the symbol of the Institut of the Our Lady’s Daughters.

5. The crucifix of 1700 deserves attention: it finds itself in the presbytery on the opposite side of the tabernacle.
