'Madonna del Sangue', also known as the 'Madonna of the Blood', from the commune of Re in the Piedemont area of Italy. An important pilgrim destination, the sanctuary at Re is devoted to the Virgin Mary, built on the site where it is said that the forehead of the Virgin, painted in fresco on the outer wall of one chapel, started bleeding after being hit by a stone in 1494.The Latin inscription above is also found on the original image in Re.
