Madonna dell'Archetto

The Church of the Madonna dell'Archetto (English: Our Lady of the Little Arch) is a small oratory in Rome, Italy, in the Trevi rione.

The official title of the church is Santa Maria Causa Nostrae Laetitiae (English: Holy Mary, Cause of Our Joy).

[4][5] The 1796 incident occurred before numerous witnesses, who also observed that the eyes of the painting wept—presumably in reaction to that year's invasion of the Papal States by France.

[4][5] In the middle of the nineteenth century, marchese Alessandro Muti Papazzurri Savorelli decided to construct a small chapel to house the miraculous image, which until that point was still located in a narrow alley.

To [the honor of] Mary, Our Lady Alessandro Muti, Marchese de Papazzurri, formerly Count Savorelli, [this] chamber having been expanded, restored it from its foundations [and] decorated it with this inscription put above it, in the year 1851 since the childbearing of the Virgin.
