The image is a reproduction of the famous painting of the Virgin Mary and the Child Jesus by the Italian painter by the Italian artist Roberto Ferruzzi (+1934) in 1897. Although Ferruzzi called the painting “Madonnina,” it is better known today as “Madonna of the Streets.” It is a memento commemorating the spiritual exercises for young boys and bachelors at the Church of St Francis in Valletta by Fr Luigi ta' Kristu Re, Provincial of the Discalced Carmelites. Overleaf, there are also six maxims about one's conscience. This image was issued by the Catholic Action Branch of Valletta.
