In many civilizations it has represented a symbol of prosperity, fertility and luck, especially for the abundance of the grains within it; a fruit that represents motherhood and also used by the Church which encloses in a close union the numerous grains that is the faithful.
The pomegranate becomes part of the decoration and the art, a theme much felt by the great artists in fact often appears in the pictorial representations both sacred and profane, we remember only one that of Botticelli "The Madonna of the pomegranate"Today one of the most admired paintings of the Uffizi Gallery, the child holding a pomegranate.
