From 3 December to 4 March Palazzo delle Paure will host the exhibition "Masterpiece for Lecco" entitled "Holy Works"

The fourth edition of Capolavoro per Lecco , entitled " Holy works ", will be hosted from 3 December 2022 to 4 March 2023 on the first floor of Palazzo delle Paure .

San Nicolò , Patron Saint of Lecco, and Beato Angelico , the great master of fifteenth-century painting who portrayed the bishop in many of his works are the protagonists of this great exhibition. The initiative, promoted by the cultural association and the Madonna del Rosario pastoral community in collaboration with the Municipality of Lecco, aims to bring together the mystery of God's Salvation through the beauty of art.

Three masterpieces on display this year. First of all, the two compartments of the predella of the Guidalotti Polyptych from the Vatican Pinacoteca . In an extraordinary way, thanks to the generous availability of the Vatican Museums, these two precious panels are exhibited together with the Missal Gerli 54 of the Braidense National Library in Milan, a manuscript from whose pages emerges the work of Angelico as a refined illuminator, and at the same time an illustrious document of twentieth-century Lombard collecting. The approach to the work of art takes place through a path that leads to the unique and personal relationship that only the experience of meeting face to face with the work can generate.

The curator of the exhibition is Gerardo de Simone, one of the most important international scholars of the figure and work of Beato Angelico.

Also this year, the dissemination of the contents of the works is entrusted to the guided tour by the students of the local high schools , prepared through a special training course. This year almost 200 students are involved, coming from 8 schools in Lecco and its province. They will be joined by a group of university students mainly from the Milan Polytechnic, Lecco campus.
