The school is an international meeting point for creativity in art and artistic craftsmanship related to the sacred. It is a space where students, teachers, artists, and artisans can meet and engage in dialogue.
The third and final stop of the series will take place on Thursday, May 2, 2024, at 8:30 PM and will feature the Museum Center of Castronuovo Sant’Andrea (PZ), presented by Giuseppe Appella.
