Statue of Mom Margherita and Don Bosco, painted resin, 11 in

Statue of Mom Margherita and Don Bosco, painted resin, 11 in.

Crafted in resin and marble powder, this statue is hand-painted and meticulously finished. The scene portrays an intimate maternal moment between Don Bosco and his mother, depicted in their traditional attire: Don Bosco in a black cassock with a short cape, while Mom Margherita, in simple work clothes, holds a basket under her arm and gently caresses her son's face. Next to Don Bosco, there is a young boy with a book in hand, symbolising his educational mission and commitment to the boys' upbringing. Mom Margherita was a woman of great faith and dedication who supported Don Bosco in his work of welcoming and educating needy youth. After her husband's death, she devoted herself entirely to the family and then to helping the boys in the oratory, becoming a point of reference for all. St. John Bosco, founder of the Salesian Congregation, dedicated his life to the education and spiritual growth of the youth, imparting to them values of faith, dedication, and solidarity. This statue is produced by a historic Italian company, active in the field of sacred statues since 1900. The expert figure sculptors from Lucca, masters in the art of religious sculpture, hand-paint and finish each detail, making each piece unique and full of expressiveness. Perfect for churches and oratories, this statue is a tribute to the bond between mother and son, also ideal as a religious gift for those inspired by the teachings of Don Bosco and Mom Margherita. Statue dimensions: 10.8x6x4.1 in. Made in Italy.
