Mélanie Calvat - La veggente di Salette

Libreria Fiordilibro

Libreria Fiordilibro organizes a meeting on Mèlanie Calvat or Sister Maria della Croce, seer and eyewitness of the apparitions of the Madonna di Salette. Church of the Colleggio, Galatina. 7:00 pm

It is unknown to most that Melanie Calvat lived in Galatina, we are at the end of the nineteenth century for a few years, sheltered from the clamor and in total secrecy, even if this did not prevent her house from being the destination of authoritative religious figures. It will be discussed in depth by Giovani Ferruccio Labella, author of an essay on Mèlanie Calvat published in Notes of History and Culture of Salento. Pasquale Orlando D’Urso from the Society of National History will intervene. The meeting was introduced by Don Antonio Santoro, Rector of the Church of Santa Maria della Grazia.
