Today, at 4.30 pm, in the Church of Santo Spirito – Ferrara we talk about Saint Anthony of Padua among historical events, art and Ferrara wonders. Cultural initiative organized by Ferrariae Decus Ets and the parish of Santo Spirito.
Today, at 4.30 pm, in the church of Santo Spirito (in via Montebello, in Ferrara), the cultural association Ferrariae Decus Ets and the parish of Santo Spirito are organizing a free public conference entitled “St. Anthony of Padua between events historical, art and wonders of Ferrara”. The parish priest Don Francesco Viali will introduce the initiative, while the scholars Marialucia Menegatti and Francesco Scafuri, with the help of some very evocative and rare images, will analyze some events linked to the life and extraordinary figure of Saint Anthony of Padua ( Lisbon 1195 c. – Arcella, Padua, 1231), with particular reference to the devotional aspects and the
prodigious events that would have happened in Ferrara in via Zemola, in the church of Santo Spirito and in other places in the city and the countryside. At the center of the attention of the two historians are also curious news and above all some important works of art by great painters, inspired by singular or supernatural situations and events concerning the Portuguese miracle-worker saint. Furthermore, during the event, songs from the Antonian tradition will be performed by the “Alba Chorus Mariae” choir. It will be a journey between reality and mystery in view of the June 13th appointment, the day on which the liturgical calendar celebrates the feast of the saint, one of the most loved in the world. The party has always been well attended.
