AMONG THE PAVILIONS

SAVED ART AND OTHER SURPRISES
From the Madonnas of Aquila to Newman, a listing of all the exhibits.

The April 2009 earthquake in Italy was about to destroy them when the firefighters rescued them. The wooden Madonnas of Aquila are traveling to Rimini, where they can be admired from August 20th to November 1st at the municipal museum in the exhibit, "Wisdom Resplendent: Madonnas of Abruzzo from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance," which will feature about 20 works, oil on wooden panel or polychrome wooden sculptures created between the 12th and 14th centuries.
Of particular note are the Madonna of Lettopalena and the Madonna of Castelli, considered as beautiful as the bas reliefs of the Chartres Cathedral. In addition, the video Art Saved, which documents the recovery work of the firefighters, will be shown.
The Meeting pavilions, instead, will feature nine exhibits, including "150 Years of Subsidiarity," prepared by the Foundation for Subsidiarity, and "With the Eyes of the Apostles," on Capernaum, curated by José Miguel Garcia, with the support of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land. Four exhibits will be dedicated to great figures of the past: Blessed Cardinal John Henry Newman, the prophet Ezekiel, the Russian writer Boris Pasternak, and Saint Charles Borromeo.
What does it mean to reach certainty in the scientific sphere? An answer will be attempted in the exhibit, "Is the Atom Really Indivisible?" curated by Euresis. "Ante Gradus: When Certainty Becomes Creative" will dwell on the frescoes at the Pilgrim's Hall at Santa Maria della Scala in Siena, curated by Mariella Carlotti, while the exhibit "The Art of Reality in the Age of Dante," coordinated by Marco Bona Castellotti, will explore the art of the 13th century.
