A “Dio ama te” (God loves you) banner on the façade of the church of Sant'Agostino in piazza Aldo Moro. I can't really say about the message, but the two images on the sides represent the painting “
Christ Crowned with Thorns” by Fra Angelico and the “
Madonna of Montenero” altarpiece by Jacopo di Michele, called Gera, of the Pisan School. The first is in a chapel of our Cathedral, the second belongs to the
Sanctuary of St Mary of Grace in
Montenero.
I thought they only needed to advertise like this in the U.S. Otherwise, interesting design. It almost looks Japanese or Arts and Crafts.

Seeing the video of the young Benedictine nuns in Missouri who live and sing so well together, I'd have to admit that God must indeed love them.
Beautiful works.
ReplyDeleteThis church isn't especially beautiful, is it? So many of your churches are gorgeous . . . I suppose it is OK for one to be plain.
ReplyDeleteInteresting architecture.
ReplyDeleteGood to know!:)
ReplyDeleteWe used to have an old man standing close to the motorway with a big sign saying " Jesus is coming soon"......
Jack - We have some even worse than this one...
ReplyDeleteThis looks sort of modern for a church. Definitely not what I would expect to see in Italy, home of the uber-fancy churches. :)
ReplyDeleteIf not for the explanation, I wouldn't say this is a church! The construction seems ugly to me, no offence!
