Dear friends, I want to let you know this little story.
Last year in August I found myself alone in Rome and I must say that Rome in August becomes magical,
Few people, you val mare in Ostia, pizza, some shows ... in short I'm fine, however
I read on a magazine of summer events in the capital, "little Lourdes in Rome." Very intrigued I take my bike and go.
A year later I'm back ...
Not everybody knows and not even the Romans that in this church flows miraculous water.
Often you see people fill bottles of water for their sick family member, many gather in the small chapel, now no more than four people at a time in prayer, entrusting their requests to the Madonna and drinking a glass of water in the hope of a grace.
In the small chapel on the right we see the tap where
Prayer
O most pious Virgin Mary, remember that no one in the world has ever had recourse to your patriotism, implored your help, asked for your protection and been abandoned by you.

O Mother of the Divine Word, do not despise my prayers, but listen to me and hear my prayers.
Amen
On the night between september 26 e 27, 1256 a servantof cardinal Pietro Capocci accidentally or intentonially threw the sacred image of the Madonna painted on a slab of terracotta into the well of the stable. Before the slab of terracotta touched the bottom of the well, the wathers rose up out of the well and flooded the stable bringing back to the surface the sacred image of the Madonna.
The cardinal was awakened in the night and rusced into the barn where he saw the image of the Madonna swaying on the water, with devout amazament he picked it up
Pope Alexander iv had it placed in the chapel near the well from where it had resurfaced. Since then until today the Madonna of the well grants graces and healings also througt itsmiraculous waters.
It rises between via del Tritone and via del corso a stone's throw from the Trevi fountain.
