Mystica Visio: Contemporary Art Celebrates 800 Years of Saint Francis in Todi

Todi, an Umbrian city, is honoring the 800th anniversary of Saint Francis of Assisi's passing with the exhibition Mystica Visio, showcasing the works of over thirty artists in historic locations such as the Sala delle Pietre, Museo Civico, Tempio di San Fortunato, and Cappella dell'Istituto Veralli Cortesi. Among the featured artists are AES+F, Giulia Apice, and Agostino Arrivabene. Curator Federica Poletti highlights the exhibition's aim to reinterpret medieval and Renaissance traditions while avoiding mere decorative treatment. Featured pieces include Luca Pozzi's Awake Third Eye Prophecy (2026), Rachele Frison's Sorelle acqua (2026), and Edoardo Cialfi's Senza titolo (2025). The exhibition seeks to transform medieval mysticism into a contemporary dialogue, recontextualizing historical iconography for modern audiences.
