Presentation of the catalog of the Exhibition “From the Care of the Earth to the Health of the Body and Soul,” Elena Modena and Maurizio Tuliani curators.

Following the evocative setup carried out in the cloister of the Sanctuary last summer, late spring of 2025 brings the completion of the related catalog.

A truly favorable time for such an important achievement, which allows for the promotion to an even wider audience of an ancient source reinterpreted for the common good.

A fundamental step in the face of today’s world challenges in terms of conscious knowledge, observation and listening, and respect for created nature and the human being.

Not only, therefore, a matter of beauty, which the illuminated Tacuinum (vindobonensis series nova 2644, preserved at the Austrian National Library, Vienna) from which the exhibition is drawn demonstrates in every table, and that surprises as one browses the pages of the catalog; nor a purely philological operation, although rich in meaning given the priceless value of the manuscript.

Not just an artistic fact; illuminating is a fine and precious art in itself, so capable of focusing on detail, highlighting gesture, emanating an atmosphere inviting one to breathe it as reality.

In truth, the splendor of the Tacuinum comes from so much and from what it summarizes and transmits, from the weight of the themes, from the intentions in favor of life, of which it is a true witness.

What it deals with is, in fact, crucial: the health of man and his habitat, both understood as a pulsating whole in symbiosis. A theme to which we must return and dwell upon, to ignite and nourish awareness, to respectfully create connections of knowledge, to cultivate the common good in the concreteness of action.

The presentation of the catalog will take place in the form of a dialogue between word and music, the latter being an activity prescribed in the Tacuinum for its intrinsic usefulness in balancing emotions and states of mind, and for alleviating illnesses.

It will also make use of the projection of other images from the digital source, making the proposal even more enjoyable.
