ラ・コスタのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

イタリアの作家ジョヴァンニ・グアレスキが考案した、二人の主人公「ドン・カミッロとペッポーネ」をめぐる、見事に語られた物語の一つに、神の母マリアについても語られています。ペッポーネの末っ子が重病を患ったため、共産党員の市長は夕方、5本の大きなろうそくを持って教会へ向かいます。ドン・カミッロはそれらを祭壇の十字架の前に立てようとしますが、ペッポーネは異議を唱え、ろうそくを聖母マリア礼拝堂に置きたいと主張します。「あちらはあなたの党に属している。政治をしないあちらの前に灯しなさい。」彼が去った後、ドン・カミッロは――いつものように十字架につけられたキリストと会話しながら――彼に「厳しくしないでほしい」と熱心に懇願します。対話は続きます。 「なぜ厳しくしなければならないのか？」とキリストはささやきました。「私の母を敬うことで、私の心は優しさで満たされる。ただ、彼女を『あちらの人』と呼んだことだけは少し気に入らない。」ドン・カミッロは首を振りました。「聞き間違えた」と彼は反論しました。「彼はこう言ったのだ。『この礼拝堂の聖なる無原罪の聖母の前に、すべて灯しなさい』と。」（ジョヴァンニ・グアレスキ「五と五」）
