Santa Maria in Via, Camerino

Santa Maria in Via is a Baroque style Roman Catholic church and Marian Shrine in Camerino, in the province of Macerata, region of Marche, Italy.

The icon has writing in gothic letters stating “Virgo parit Christum velut angelus intimat ipsum”.

The interior is decorated with faux polychrome marble (scagliola)and completed only in 1896 by dall'Adami of Rome and the Ferranti of Tolentino.

The presbytery was painted by Orazio Orazi, depicting the icon of the Madonna and Child of the Master of Camerino putatively arriving from Smyrna (Izmir) and its coronation.

In the chapel to the right, was once the tomb of Cardinal Giori, it now houses the crucifix with which in 1750, St Paolo della Croce, founder of the Passionists, blessed the people of Camerino, while promulgating his eremitic monastic mission.
