Government Building sights in Messina

  1. A

    Treasury

    Several treasures, such as the magnificent Golden Mantle (1668) designed by Innocenzo Mangani as a 'cloak' for the picture of La Madonna della Lettera (The Madonna of the Letter) that now sits on the altar, are kept in the Piazza del Duomo's treasury. The letter the Madonna is supposed to have written was a blessing on the city of Messina, which suffered a terrible famine after converting to Christianity in AD 42.
