Pictured is a statue of the Madonna salutis portus by Matteo Civitali on the facade of San Michele in Foro in Lucca, Italy. It was sculpted in 1480 to celebrate the end of the 1476 plaque. The phrase Solutis portus associated with a Madonna statue emphasizes the belief that Mary provides a spiritual harbor or refuge for those who seek her help and protection. It reflects the idea that she is a compassionate figure who offers solace and aids in navigating the challenges and tribulations of life.
