La Pietà by Michelangelo – Conference and Meditation
Michelangelo’s Pietà is the focus of a reflective evening organised by the Diocese of Monaco’s formation service. Led by Abbé Joseph Di Leo, the conference and meditation invite participants to consider the famous sculpture not only as a major artistic achievement but also through the themes of faith, love and hope associated with its subject.
🏛️ What to expect
The session takes the form of a conference and meditation, combining attention to a celebrated work of Renaissance sculpture with a spiritual perspective. The announced subject is the meaning and contemporary resonance of the Virgin Mary holding the body of Christ.
Abbé Joseph Di Leo is the confirmed speaker. The programme is an opportunity for those interested in religious art, Christian reflection or Michelangelo’s sculptural work to approach the same masterpiece from different viewpoints.
