Art sacre italià del segle XX dels Museus Vaticans

The exhibition presents to the public an important collection of works from the Modern and Contemporary Art Collection of the Vatican Museums.

For this occasion, a selection has been made of some of the most representative paintings and sculptures of this period, created by internationally renowned masters such as Mirko Basaldella, Felice Carena, Carlo Carrà, Pericle Fazzini, Salvatore Fiume, Gerardo Dottori, Renato Guttuso, Marino Marini, Giacomo Manzù, Francesco Messina and Fausto Pirandello, as well as other lesser-known artists of great relevance, such as Aldo Carpi, Giuseppe Montanari and Antonio Giuseppe Santagata.

The central theme of the exhibition is Christ, the Man of Sorrows and the Paschal Mystery: Passion, Death and Resurrection, approached from diverse languages and sensibilities that reveal, in the face of Christ, the greatness of the human vocation.
