Francis of Assisi on the eighth centenary of his death

At the Galleria d'arte Moderna "Carlo Rizzarda".

The exhibition offers a journey to discover the images of St. Francis and the Franciscans who played an important role in the life, religiosity, and culture of Feltre, with particular attention to Blessed Bernardino Tomitano.

The sites and Franciscan convents of the city are illustrated, some of which have disappeared, and the figure of Father Antonio Cambruzzi, author of the History of Feltre, is also remembered.

The paintings dated from the 16th to the 19th century, some of which have been restored for the occasion, come from the civic museum and its deposits, as well as from private collections.

They depict "the poor man of Assisi" now in mystical dialogue with nature, now in meditation.
An exciting journey through iconography, symbols, and places useful for a better understanding of the territory.
