Genazzano is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Rome, located on a tuff spur at 375 metres above sea level that, starting from the Monti Prenestini, ends on the Sacco River valley.
The church of the Madonna del buon consiglio, built in appreciation for the town's contribution to Santa Maria Maggiore, and entrusted in 1356 to the Augustinian Order, holds the original fresco of Our Lady of Good Counsel (Latin: Mater boni consilii) a title given to the Blessed Virgin Mary, after the allegedly miraculous fresco.
Before being suppressed by the communist regime, the apostolic delegate Msgr. G.B. Nigris wrote on the 28th of December 1946: that “April 25, 1467 is the date when the fresco would have miraculously detached from the altar and, crossing the Adriatic on a flight among a bevy of angels would have descended to Genazzano”, adding that unfortunately the evidence was destroyed in the «violent Islamization of the country», but that still remains «the widespread and living devotion of Our Lady of Good Counsel, venerated as Patroness of Albania (…) There is no house of Catholics in which the image of Our Lady of Good Counsel is not enthroned “.
