Abstract
Il saggio intende indagare aspetti iconografici e ornamentali relativi a gioielli devozionali siciliani molto diffusi nel corso della seconda metà del XVII secolo e della prima metà del successivo, prendendo in considerazione alcuni medaglioni in oro o argento e smalto dipinto, quasi sempre su rame, con ampia circolazione sociale e che godettero di grande fortuna in tutto il Mediterraneo. In essi gli smalti sono indiscussi protagonisti e le immagini sacre dipinte rappresentano i culti di dulìa e iperdulìa più noti in Sicilia a quel tempo, immagini riconosciute dalla Chiesa e care ai fedeli.
The essay investigates iconographic and ornamental aspects relating to Sicilian devotional jewels which were very widespread during the second half of the 17th century and the first half of the 18th. It studies some medallions in gold or silver and painted enamel, almost always on copper, with wide social circulation and who enjoyed great fortune throughout the Mediterranean. In them the enamels are the undisputed protagonists and the sacred images painted represent the cults of dulìa and hyperdulìa best known in Sicily at that time, images recognized by the Church and dear to the faithful.
