The doors of the Oratory of the Madonna delle Grazie in Vigoleno are reopening. The occasion is a new temporary exhibition, an extraordinary opportunity to discover at close quarters the work of one of the great Renaissance artists, Albrecht Dürer.
L’incisione e il sacro: Albrecht Dürer e il Rinascimento europeo
(Engraving and the Sacred: Albrecht Dürer and the European Renaissance)
When: Saturday 24 May to Sunday 28 September 2025. Open Saturday and Sunday during Mastio opening hours
Where: Oratory of the Madonna delle Grazie, Vigoleno village
The engravings on show, mostly with a sacred theme, come from the Ceribelli Gallery in Bergamo. The 30 works on display, including engravings and woodcuts, bear witness to the genius of the German artist, relating the works to the environment of the Oratory.
The itinerary is developed in a first part that delves into the journey to Italy, and a second part that offers a direct comparison between the artist’s work and the altarpiece on display at the Oratory dedicated to the Madonna del Latte.
The exhibition is curated by Emanuele Franchi and Elisa Gennari.
Inauguration: Sunday 18 May at 11 a.m.
