Devotio Awards 2026
Presentation of the necklace Passages of Light
On the occasion of the international fair dedicated to religious products, “Passages of Light” is presented: an artist’s necklace born from the collaboration between Maggi Controls, a historic company of religious medals, and RichFree, an artistic project combining historical research, numismatics, and contemporary goldsmith art.
The work brings into dialogue Saint Quirinus of Siscia, a 4th-century martyr, and the Incoronata Madonna of Foggia, a symbol of protection and popular devotion, through historical and symbolic materials: a hand-silvered brass devotional plaque (Maggi, ca. 1937) and a Roman follis of Valens.
Created by Monica Frisone, Artistic Director, and Alex Ricchebuono, CEO, the necklace is conceived as a unique and exclusive piece, where matter and spirituality meet.
A jewel that is not merely an ornament, but a sign of faith, living memory, and a portable sacred space.
