Il Vescovado – Religious rituals and Italian fashion: Stefano Gabbana’s tribute to the mare Santa Maria on Instagram

It was August 15, 2016, when a popular Instagram profile Stefano Gabbanaphotograph showing a bust Santa Maria a Mare di Maioricomplete with hashtags “#loyalty #tradition #madeintitaly #maiori”a tribute to the religious tradition and rituals of Bel Paese, which surprised the inhabitants of Maiori, Firstlywho immediately recognized the sacred image of the patron at the post.

A tradition (it’s worth saying) repeated in 2017 and 2018, offering the same image but from different angles.

The designer will certainly appreciate the brocade dress with embroidered flowers in different shades of red, blue and gold, which was worn during the Ferragosto procession on the occasion of the Assumption (different from the one worn on the third Sunday of November, instead of shades of yellow and gold), colors reminiscent of polychrome, typical of Southern Italy, expensive for this style.
