The crisis dramatically resulting from the sudden pandemic for Covid-19 had immediate and long-term consequences. From a religious point of view, what were the answers? The civil and ecclesial community of Biancavilla country is unique in the Etna province and in Valdemone, since it is the only one of Arbëreshë origin, although now Latinized, arrived and finally settled at the foot of Etna, after the exile following the fall of Byzantium. The exiles brought with them an icon of the Mary of almsgiving, which is to some extent at the origin of the foundation of the town. The local historical, social and religious history is linked to the cult, first Byzantine, then Latin, of the Virgin of Mercy, and its icon. The people of Biancavilla country have always devoted their devotion to it, especially on the occasion of wars, famines, plagues, obtaining, according to the faith of the people, the favor of the Virgin, despite the fact that neighboring communities were equally affected. We want to report the "case" of the Biancavilla community, which faced the health emergency caused by Covid-19, also from a religious point of view with a constant, broad, varied commitment, not only liturgical or devotional, but also educational. Expressing once again its Christian faith in devotion to the Virgin of Alms, her patron. While the commitment of the clergy to a constant liturgical and pastoral activity has not been lacking, the faithful also maintained the oratorio and educational activities through the use of the internet, using all the communication channels available, with positive results also with respect to other civil and religious communities, during the long period of isolation, keeping personal and community relationships alive. The biancavillese marian devotion therefore permeated and acted as an agglutinant of the overall estate of the small town of Biancavilla.

The crisis resulting from the pandemic had immediate and long-term consequences. Distance teaching has been fundamental for the maintenance of continuous training. In the didactic integration, the mediation of the musical language is a fundamental element for a better outcome of the educational and didactic intervention. It is a truly universal language, capable of overcoming linguistic and cultural barriers. Even more it can be said: it offers an idea of itself to each listener, who interprets it according to their sensitivity. Fair, inclusive and quality education must take into account several elements. We believe that training for beauty and aesthetic taste is one of the cornerstones of effective training. The so-called Via Pulchritudinis can be a valid tool for lifelong learning and becomes good practice of civil coexistence and democracy. ; La crisi scaturita dalla pandemia ha avuto conseguenze immediate e di lungo termine. La didattica a distanza è stata fondamentale per la tenuta della formazione continua. Nell'integrazione didattica la mediazione del linguaggio musicale è un elemento fondamentale per una migliore riuscita dell'inter- vento educativo e didattico. Essa è un linguaggio veramente universale, ca- pace di superare barriere linguistiche e culturali. Ancor più si può dire: offre un'idea di sé a ciascun ascoltatore, che la interpreta secondo la propria sensibilità. Un'istruzione equa, inclusiva e di qualità deve tener conto di diversi elementi. Riteniamo che formare al bello ed al gusto estetico sia uno dei cardini di un'efficace formazione. La cosiddetta Via Pulchritudinis può essere un valido strumento per un apprendimento che dura tutta la vita e diviene buona pratica di convivenza civile e di democrazia.
