San Francesco: il respiro del creato

From May 30 to June 7, 2026 in the Sagrato del Santuario di Santa Maria delle Grazie you can visit the exhibition "SAN FRANCIS - The Breath of Creation."

Thanks to the patronage of the City of Monza entrance is free.

The opening will take place on Saturday May 30 at 8:30 pm at the Shrine of Santa Maria delle Grazie.
You will be able to meet and listen to the Artists and Poets involved in the project and all the people whose collaboration made its implementation possible.

At 21.00, on the Churchyard of the Sanctuary, the participatory event "The Voice of the Wolf - Shared Breath" will come to life, included in the program of the International Day of Light UNESCO. 

Accompanied by the notes of the psaltery and the poetic narration of the Voice of the Wolf, you will be invited to "enliven" the great spiral. Each person will be able to light a lumino and place it in the spiral: a simple, yet deeply symbolic gesture to remind us that light grows only when it is shared.
We invite you, if possible, to wear dark-toned clothing, to guard the spiritual and luminous atmosphere of the event together.
