Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The article presents a case study, well known in the Latin American socio-anthropological literature, but so far little known in the literature on religious practices of immigrant communities in Italy: the devotion to the Lord of the Miracles among Peruvian-born immigrants in the city of Rome. The analysis is not limited to a simple ethnographic reconstruction of such devotion, but opens up to a broader theoretical and methodological reflections on the complex relationship between moving religious identities, transplanted into a "foreign" land, recomposed and integrated in a new context. The case seems to support the thesis put forward by some scholars on the role of cultural mediation (via the religion) carried out by the Catholic Church in Italy with regard to faith communities formed by foreign people. This also seems to apply to other communities (for example, the Sinhalese community as regard as both the cult of Santa Rosalia and Sant'Antonio di Padova). A brief comment on this aspect and on these other cases would be desirable.
