Sancte Marie de Divino Amore (In English: Saint Mary of Love Divine), is a devotional title in the Catholic Church for Mary, the mother of Jesus, which was first used on the seventeenth century Byzantine icon of the Virgin and Child, a medieval style Christian artifact. The image received canonical coronation on 13 May 1883 and can now be used by the faithful when addressing Mary for intercessions under this title. In contemporary times, Catholics attributed his providential intercession for the liberation of Rome during World War II, since Pope Pius XII gave him the title of "Salvadora city Rome '. The icon is located in the Basilica della Madonna del Divino Amore in Rome.
