Saint Francis of Assisi centenary commemorations in Italy

Overview

Various cultural events in Italy are commemorating the eighth centenary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi.

In Alessandria, the “Sorella Medicina – Per tutte le sue creature” concert was scheduled for October 9 at the Church of Sant’Alessandro. Performed by the P. Voices choir, the event combined choral music and narration to explore the human dimension of healthcare. Proceeds from the event were intended for “Solidal per la Ricerca” to fund medical research projects.

In Bologna, museums organized the exhibition ‘Sorella arte. San Francesco tra Medioevo e Contemporaneo’. The project, split between the Museo Civico Medievale and the Museo d’arte Lercaro, sought to create a dialogue between medieval iconography and contemporary art by pairing works from artists such as Lucio Fontana and Alberto Burri with historical illuminated manuscripts and painted crosses.
