The revival of the deconsecrated churches in Italy

The work of Andrea Di Martino, winner of the Premio Amilcare Ponchielli 2010 of the GRIN is dedicated to the rediscovery of the many deconsecrated churches existing on the territory. As a matter of fact, according to Di Martino, “the deconsecrated churches are very particular places holding multifarious attractions: their sacred life, their revival, their secular life” and they “tell histories of a variegated Italy: refined and superficial, trendy and popular, disobedient and devotional, but in the end surprisingly heterogeneous”. The exhibition will be open until 28th May.
