il Viaggio della Parola

    An operation of conservation and restoration
    of the 25 holy scriptures retrieved from the Holy See pavilion at Expo Milano 2015 and relocated to worldwide destinations.

    “Not by bread alone” and “Give us today our daily bread” are the two holy scriptures chosen by the Holy See to represent the general theme of Expo, “Feeding the planet, energy for life”.
    Translated into thirteen languages, they were realized out of white metallic letters covering the whole white façade of the pavilion, thus to evoke the biblical episode of the manna falling down from the sky into the desert. Their message could be read only through their projected shadows.
    At the dismantling of the pavilion, it was decided to propose them in significant locations, in Italy and abroad, to allow spreading their ecumenic message.
