Divine Light - Abbey of San Galgano
On the occasion of the Jubilee 2025, Helidon Xhixha's art illuminates with new light the Abbey of San Galgano, one of the most fascinating and spiritual places in Italy. The Italo-Albanian sculptor presents Luce Divina, a monumental stainless steel installation that combines spirituality and contemporaneity. The internationally renowned artist chose the Abbey, a roofless Gothic church in the green hills of Siena, for its strong symbolic value. In this place where the sky becomes a vault, spirituality and nature come together in a unique way. Xhixha proposes a dialogue between decadence and rebirth, history and modernity, faith and art. All the works use natural light to offer an immersive experience: the material reflects, dialogues, transforms the viewer into part of the work itself.
The exhibition is curated by Carlo Pizzichini and will be opened by an evocative concert for piano and cello, a special occasion to experience light, art and music in a timeless place. The inauguration, on Saturday 12 April at 4.30 p.m., will be a solemn event open to the public.
