Mystica Visio: Contemporary Art Meets Medieval Mysticism in Todi

The exhibition Mystica Visio: San Francesco, Jacopone e le arti opens May 23 in Todi, featuring over 30 contemporary artists in dialogue with Saint Francis and Jacopone da Todi. Curated by Massimo Mattioli, the project spans multiple venues including Sala delle Pietre, Museo Civico, Tempio di San Fortunato, Cappella dell'Istituto Veralli Cortesi, and the new Parco Sculture Todini. The show is part of the eighth centenary of Saint Francis's death, coordinated by the Comitato Nazionale per le celebrazioni francescane chaired by Davide Rondoni. Artists include AES+F, Giulia Apice, Agostino Arrivabene, Corrado Cagli, Gerardo Dottori, Miltos Manetas, Antonio Marras, and others. The exhibition runs from May 24 to July 19. A catalog features texts by Rondoni, Mattioli, Massimo Duranti, Bruno Ceccobelli, and Giulia Pala. On May 24, Matteo Bergamini's book SPEEDNEWS will be presented at Galleria Giampaolo Abbondio. The Parco Sculture Todini opens May 23 with site-specific works by Matteo Attruia and Silvia Ranchicchio, plus a live painting performance by Miltos Manetas.
