Ristret

The latin term ex-voto comes from ex-voto suscepto meaning “according to the promise made to the Saints or to the Virgin Mary”. Many of this ex-votos and their related grace refer to health or to the accidents occurred. In order to make a general statistic analysis, we took in exam the ex-votos painted before the year 1950 and then we compared them with the INAIL data or with data derived from other statistical data sources. What emerges from this research is the relationship between ex-votos and the accidents occurred in agricolture, at home, or on a building site. Moreover, thanks to these ex-votos it is possible to understand the evolution of the accidents over the years, up to now. The study also confirms that some cases are still present today, like falls from height, which have always been a cause of mortal or serious accident, in the past and now
