This contribution focuses on the popular devotion to Our Lady of Porto Salvo on Lampedusa, looking at the transformations that have reconfigured it over time as a prism through which to analyse the tensions between local dynamics and global forces that affect the island. The article suggests that the study of the sacred cartography of the contemporary Mediterranean should be part of the process of “remapping” of the network of interactions, connections, and hybridisations that characterise the area.

Abstract
This contribution focuses on the popular devotion to Our Lady of Porto Salvo on Lampedusa, looking at the transformations that have reconfigured it over time as a prism through which to analyse the tensions between local dynamics and global forces that affect the island. The article suggests that the study of the sacred cartography of the contemporary Mediterranean should be part of the process of “remapping” of the network of interactions, connections, and hybridisations that characterise the area.
