context_page_description: The Pontifical Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of the Rosary of Pompei is a Roman Catholic cathedral, Marian pontifical shrine and minor basilica commissioned by Bartolo Longo, located in Pompei, Italy. It is the see of the Territorial Prelature of Pompei.
context_section_description: The painting of "Our Lady of the Rosary" with its bronze gilt frame is presented to the pilgrims on the high altar. The venerated painting depicts the Virgin Mary and Child Jesus presenting rosaries to Saint Dominic and Saint Catherine of Siena. Originally bought by Dominican priest Alberto Radente for eight carlini in Naples, it was offered to Bartolo Longo on the 13 November 1875 for the church he was building in Pompei.
  An attempt was made by an amateur to restore it, and it was placed in the church on 13 February 1876, the foundation day for the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary there.  In 1880 the famous Italian painter, Federico Madlarelli, offered to restore the image.  It was again finally restored by Vatican artists in 1965.
  Bartolo Longo composed the "Novena of Petition" in July of 1879, testing it to himself while he suffered of typhoid fever. The text was inspired by a daily vision of a miraculous portrait of Our Lady of the Rosary, to which the Novena was firstly dedicated in Pompei. The portrait depicts the Blessed Mother, seated upon a throne, is depicted holding the Child Jesus on her knee. He hands a rosary to St. Dominic, and the Blessed Virgin places a rosary into the hand of St. Catherine of Siena. 
  The full Prayer consists in a daily pronunciation of at least three decades (three Holy Misteries) of the Rosary, in respect of an alternation schema, each day followed by the Novena. It takes 54 days of time, without interruption.
