Miserere a Burano: Andrea Tagliapietra e Mariarosa Vio abitano il vuoto sacro della Cappella di Santa Barbara
The Cappella di Santa Barbara on Burano Island in Venice experiences a significant transformation when its saint's relics are moved to Rome, leaving its altar empty. To address this void, the contemporary art group BAC, led by Silvia Rossi and Mauro Nardin, along with artists Andrea Tagliapietra and Mariarosa Vio, is organizing an exhibition titled 'Miserere.' This event will run from August 1 to September 6, 2026, at the Oratorio di Santa Barbara, located at Piazza Baldassarre Galuppi, Burano. The exhibition's theme explores human vulnerability and our shared responsibilities during challenging times.
