On February 4<\/strong>, the oldest city festival<\/strong> is celebrated in Forl\u00ec (FC) in honor of the Madonna del Fuoco (Our Lady of Fire), patron saint of the city.<\/p>\n\n

The origins of the devotion to the Madonna del Fuoco<\/h2>\n\n

The devotion to the Madonna del Fuoco was born on the night of Wednesday 4 February 1428<\/strong>. The image of the Madonna was exhibited in a school in Forl\u00ec, located in via Leone Cobelli, where, during the winter, a fireplace was lit to warm the pupils. On the evening of February 4, 1428, a fire broke out from this hearth which completely destroyed the school; the flames continued to burn for a few days, so it was with some astonishment that the intact image of the Madonna was found among the rubble<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n

Today in place of the school that burned down stands the church of the Miracle of the Madonna del Fuoco, protector of the city of Forl\u00ec.<\/p>\n\n

Every year in Forl\u00ec, in memory of the miraculous event, on the night between 4 and 5 February, red candles are displayed in the windows<\/strong>, which burn throughout the night.<\/p>\n\n

From the oldest woodcut in Italy to our majolica<\/h3>\n\n

The image of Our Lady of Fire measures 49 x 40 cm and is made on plain paper, glued and nailed to a wooden tablet. It is believed to be the oldest woodcut on paper kept in Italy.<\/p>\n\n

La Vecchia Faenza creates ceramics depicting the Madonna del Fuoco in relief<\/strong>, they are hand painted in our workshops and can be posted or placed in niches even outside.<\/p>\n\n
