Jewel inspired by the devotion to Saint Rita da Cascia
St. Rita da Cascia was born in 1381 in Roccaporena, a small suburb of Cascia (Italy).
Pope Leo XIII canonised Rita on 24 th May 1900. Her feast is celebrated on the 22 nd
May. At her canonisation ceremony she was named "Patroness of Impossible Causes"
while in many Catholic countries Rita is known as the patroness of abused wives and
heartbroken women. In 2000, on the 100 th anniversary of her canonisation, Pope John
Paul II noted her remarkable qualities as a Christian woman: “Rita represented well
the 'feminine genius' by living intensely both in physical and spiritual motherhood.”
Her body, incorrupt over the centuries, is venerated today in the shrine at Cascia,
named after her. Many people visit her tomb every year.
THE ATTRIBUTES OF SAINT RITA: ROSES AND BEES
Roses
It is said that near the end of her life Rita was bedridden at the convent. While
visiting her, a cousin asked if she desired anything from her old house. Rita answered
asking for a rose from the garden. It was January and her cousin did not expect to
find one because of the season. However, when her relative went to the house, a
single blooming rose was in the garden, and her cousin brought it back to Rita at the
convent. Saint Rita is often portrayed holding roses or with roses nearby. On her feast
day churches and shrines of Saint Rita provide blessed roses to the congregation.
Bees
In the parish church of Laarne, near Ghent, Belgium, there is a statue of Saint Rita
with several bees. This depiction originates from the story of her baptism as an infant.
On the day after her christening, her family noticed a swarm of white bees flying
around her as she slept in her crib. However the bees peacefully entered and exited
her mouth without causing her any harm or injury. Instead of being alarmed for her
safety, her family was mystified by the sight. According to Butler, this indicated the
future of the child was to be marked by industriousness, virtue, and devotion.
Antonietta De Marchi
Antonietta De Marchi was born and lives in Rome. She studied at the Academy of Goldsmith Arts in Rome and then at RUFA (Rome University of Fine Arts) where she specialized in sculpture and installation.
and installation. Since 2012 she has chosen to make her work available at the Vatican Liturgical Office. Among the many works, she has created the ring "Piscatorio" for Pope Francis now preserved in the "Treasure of the Sistine Chapel". His production also includes the creation of the three monumental amphorae for the Vatican Basilica of St. Peter and used by the Pope during the Easter rite. He also restored the most important jewel preserved in the Vatican: the Tiara of Pope Pius IX donated by Queen Isabella of Spain in 1854. "AdTe jewels" is her innovative brand of jewelry and fine art with a strong and unmistakable identity. Wearing these jewels is like taking medicine, an antidote to mediocrity, indifference, addiction, and alienation.
The ingredients of our medicine to heal are brazen beauty, the story that remind us that we are never alone and the courage to be ourselves here and now aiming for infinity. The creative work has always combined with his inexhaustible passion for ancient art buying, collecting and selling objects of art and antiques, especially of Italian manufacture.
