Vatican News screens documentary on Our Lady of Good Counsel
Vatican News screened the documentary "Oltre il muro" at the Filmoteca Vaticana to tell the history of the image of Our Lady of Good Counsel. The film follows the tradition that the Marian figure arrived in Genazzano from Shkodra in the 15th century. Gjon Kolndrekaj and Tania Cammarota produced the film for CrossinMedia in collaboration with Rai Documentari. The production received patronage from the Order of Saint Augustine, the Diocese of Tivoli, the Diocese of Palestrina, and the Archdiocese of Shkodra-Pult.
