The proposal of the Lercaro Collection is characterized as a series of meetings on themes of ancient and contemporary art, conducted paying particular attention to the spiritual dimension.
For the cycle The image, revelation of the Divine:
Tuesday 12 March, 8.45 pm
The signs of Easter in the mosaics of Ravenna
Conference of Francesca Passerini
A journey through the “narrated” Gospel with unparalleled beauty from the luminous tesserae of the mosaics of Ravenna: from the Arian baptistery to the mausoleum of Galla Placidia up to the basilicas of San Vitale and Sant’Apollinare in Classe. Secular images that speak to the heart and intelligence of every man.
