above all, the Genoese area, slate has soon started to be used as a pictorial support. The centuries-old use of
slate in construction, especially for roofing and flooring, has probably affected the types of slate paintings in
Liguria and their inclusion in architectural contexts. In the seventeenth century, votive shrines containing
slate paintings were frequent, as well as shaped slate slabs were used as extensions, with great illusionistic
effect, to bring out the figures from the fields of the great baroque decorations of the churches. In addition to
these typologies, peculiar to the Genoese territory, the great production of altarpieces for churches or
devotional paintings related to private contexts was also investigated, with particular attention to the
information contained in the sources, which document a large number of works, some of which they have
not arrived to this day.
