San Michele in Orto, or more probably in Horreo (meaning either in the garden or in the granary), was once part of a loggia used as a corn market, in which was preserved a picture by Ugolino da Siena representing the Virgin, and this picture had the power of working miracles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
