Pope Francis will dialogue with
famous international artists on the universal power of art as an
instrument of unity and hope in the documentary 'Preachers of
Beauty: A Spiritual Journey Through Art and Faith' whose
production was announced this week in Rome by Andrea Iervolino
and Luis Quinelli, together with Tatatu and the Vitae Global
Foundation.
Shooting will begin in March and will take place in one of the
most iconic and spiritually significant places in the world: the
Sistine Chapel, in the heart of the Vatican.
The exceptional project was officially confirmed on Monday,
January 20, after a private audience with Pope Francis in the
library of the Apostolic Palace, second loggia of the Courtyard
of San Damaso, in Vatican City.
"'Preachers of Beauty' is not just a documentary, but a
spiritual call to embrace the transformative power of art. I
believe that art, in its purest form, can transcend all cultural
and religious barriers, becoming a universal language of hope
and peace. It is an invitation to rediscover beauty and spread
light in a world that desperately needs it," said Andrea
Iervolino, founder of Tatatu and Taic.
"This project was born from a deep desire to show how art can
reflect the greatness of creation and bring souls closer
together. Pope Francis inspires us to see art as a vehicle of
unity, a bridge between heaven and earth, capable of generating
positive changes in everyone's hearts. With 'Preachers of
Beauty', we want to convey a message of universal love and
renewed hope," added Luis Quinelli, founder of Vitae.
"Preachers of Beauty" presents itself as a unique work, capable
of deeply touching the human spirit and carrying forward the
message of Pope Francis: an invitation to build a more beautiful
world through acts of kindness, creativity and dialogue".
