Orazio Spínola (1547–1616) was a Roman Catholic cardinal[1] and member of the Pamphili family. The Cardinal designed to episcopally crown the venerated image of Madonna delle Vigne, promising its people to crown it every year on its centennial anniversary.
The image was not crowned in 1916 due to the First World War, but Pope Benedict XV felt national piety for his birthplace and issued a decree of coronation towards the image on 1 November 1920 via his Papal legate, the Archbishop of Genoa Cardinal Tommaso Pio Boggiani.
