Mar 13, 2025

A multimedia exhibition dedicated to Chiara Lubich, founder of the Focolare Movement, is opening in Rome at the Focolare Meeting Point and will be open to the public until 31st January, 2026.

An exhibition dedicated to Chiara Lubich (1920-2008), witness and inspirer of the universal value of fraternity. A stop for those visiting Rome in this Jubilee year; at the centre of the exhibition is the theme of the “city”, as a privileged place for building fraternal relationships, open to the world. The multimedia exhibition has been produced by the Chiara Lubich Centre and the Historical Museum Foundation of Trentino.

On Saturday, 15th March, 2025, starting at 6:30 PM, the inaugural event of the exhibition will take place with an artistic moment inspired by the fiction film “Chiara Lubich – Love Conquers All” (directed by Giacomo Campiotti). Pianist Carmine Padula will perform the pieces he composed for the film’s soundtrack. This will be followed by theatrical readings of some of Chiara Lubich’s texts and then a dialogue on some extracts of the film, with Saverio d’Ercole, creative producer of Eliseo Entertainment.

On the afternoon of Sunday, 16th March, 2025, there will be a moment dedicated to young people, based on Chiara Lubich’s text from October 1949, “The Resurrection of Rome.” This will be followed by a piano concert offered by Paolo Vergari.

From 15th March, 2025 until 31st January, 2026, the exhibition will be open from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, on Tuesday to Sunday. Bookings can be made up to 8:00 PM at the Focolare Meeting Point (Via del Carmine, 3 – Rome).
