NOBILE 1942 ‘A GRAZIA 75ML SPRAY EAU DE PARFUM

'A GRAZIA: the cult of San Gennaro has always been rooted in Neapolitan culture and is still deeply felt today by Neapolitans who have a constant and above all equal relationship with the saint: a constant dialogue, a confidential relationship equal to that which one would have with a trusted friend. “San Gennaro, take care of it!” it is an invocation that is repeated in the face of personal and collective concerns, natural events and disasters. “San Gennaro, you know me, if you could do me a favor,” says Massimo Troisi in one of his most famous sketches. Nino Manfredi invokes him in Operation San Gennaro and the entire city prays to him, who sees in him a brother to ask in case of need. Whether you are a believer or not, three times a year the cathedral of Naples fills with faithful to witness His umpteenth miracle.

The chosen dates are the first Saturday in May, 19 September, the feast day of the Saint, and 16 December "feast of the patronage of San Gennaro" in memory of the terrible eruption of Vesuvius in 1631, which he stopped.

His blood is exposed in front of thousands of citizens and faithful who with bated breath wait (and hope) for the blood to melt. What happens if it doesn't melt? The Neapolitans begin to tremble because it is a harbinger of great misfortunes and history teaches us this: in 1940 Italy took part in the Second World War; in 1943 the Nazis occupied the city, in 1980 the Irpinia earthquake... to name a few. And no, if you're wondering, the blood didn't melt in 2020!
