FRANCISCUS. Fratello in arte

The unique and brilliant creativity of Michelangelo Pistoletto in Assisi, in a major exhibition that explores the relationship between art, spirituality, and social responsibility, bringing together some of the artist’s most significant works. This unique exhibition—titled “FRANCISCUS. Brother in Art,” from April 24 to October 4, 2026, in the evocative Rocca Maggiore—is inspired by Pistoletto’s radical gesture: the proclamation of Pope Francis as the “First Saint of Art.” This is not a religious act, but an action within the language of art, recognizing Francis as a figure capable of transforming life into work and spirituality into shared responsibility. This unprecedented project embraces Assisi and the story of Saint Francis on the eighth centenary of his death.
