Floriano dal Buono’s *Il Fuoco Trionfante...della Traslatione della Miracolo...La Madona Del Fuoco...li xx di Ottobre MDCXXXVI* (1637) is a detailed engraving depicting a processional float for the miraculous Madonna del Fuoco. The complex, multi-tiered design includes an image of the Virgin Mary at the top, surrounded by angels and a burning house representing the miracle. The intricate details of the float's structure and decorations, along with the inclusion of text, illustrate the importance of this religious event in 17th century Italy. The artwork, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection in New York, provides a unique glimpse into the visual culture and religious devotion of the era.
