974 Italian Folk Art Ex-Voto Painting – “Romeo Rosario Per Miracolo Si Salva, Acireale” (32 x 39 cm)
A rare Italian folk art ex-voto painting dated 1974, depicting a dramatic roadside accident in which Romeo Rosario is miraculously saved in Acireale. The hand-painted scene shows a blue car tipping into a ditch while two men rush to help, watched over by a sacred figure in the corner—an iconic feature of traditional devotional ex-voto artworks. Rich in narrative detail and authentic patina, this piece is a striking example of 20th-century Sicilian religious folk art and a powerful collectible for lovers of outsider art, vernacular painting, and Catholic devotional imagery.
