I’m sorry to disagree with others’ comment. The photo is interesting and well taken, but there is not any reason for speaking of devotion or drama. This is a typical posture of gypsy beggars who are present in Italy in front of all the most important churches and tourists sites. They are not really miserable, even though probably their life is not exactly the mist comfortable. They are organized in groups and unfortunately they are often part of a kind of racket of beggary. I’d say they are professional beggars. This woman is not in this position because she is praying; they simply stay all like that when they beg. Believe it or not, in the evening they all go away together, usually on a little van. Everyone in Italy knows that.
