Tours with free admission to the Vanvitellian Hall on Sunday, Sept. 29

There is a renewal, on October 13, 2024, of the Paper Sunday event. Visits to the Vanvitellian Hall of the Angelica Library.

This volume collects the contributions presented at the study day La basilica di Sant'Agostino in Campo Marzio in Rome promoted by the Soprintendenza Speciale di Roma, held on 22 October 2022 on the occasion of the conclusion of the restoration of the central nave of the basilica of Sant'Agostino in Campo Marzio.

Is twenty years enough time to understand the deep dynamics of complex organizations such as the Catholic Church? This book is a research between chronicle and history based on a considerable amount of documents, open sources and access to direct witnesses. It is an investigation of the Vatican transition and the powers that tried to prevent it, bringing together the two pontificates of Benedict and Francis. No-holds-barred struggles, intrigues, catamounts, and the weight of money, including dirty money, have almost blocked the engine room of Peter's Boat. Over the past two decades, the Vatican's global influence has often been on a collision course with the interests of other states (from the U.S. to China, from Russia to the European Union and Italy). A clash that has also passed through real episodes of espionage against the Holy See and attempts to influence the government of the Church. What has happened in the Vatican in recent years, especially the financial scandals, is not the result of chance but of a maneuver put in place to influence and direct the activity of the Catholic Church, also in the perspective of the election of the next Pope.

An opportunity to offer a new version of Dante's masterpiece, an adaptation that will be dressed in the artistic uniqueness typical of jewelry. It will be the precious objects, in fact, that will accompany visitors in this experience. An evocative journey yes, but also quite exciting, capable of giving the public unique sensations thanks to the rich symbolism of objects and colors. The pieces, installations and photographic elements interpret in their own way the events, protagonists and metaphors described by Dante throughout the work. Charon, the Erinyes and the Minotaur, with their imposing figures and terrifying decorations, represent Hell. In Purgatory, envy, wrath, avarice and prodigality are the most feared sins. In Paradise, Beatrice opens the door to a starlit sky, whose light accompanies her to the end of the journey. Diego Percossi Papi is known through the unmistakable style of his jewelry.
