La Verna

This artwork was created for the group exhibition “Ravenna Tells the Story of Francis”, held in the cloisters of the Oriani Library from October 18 to November 2 during the 2025 Ravenna Mosaic Biennale.

Curated by Sister Anastasia and organised together with the mosaic artists of Racconti Ravennati, the exhibition presents a series of interpretations exploring the life of Saint Francis from different perspectives.

Arianna Gallo chose to portray him as a traveller and a messenger of Christ’s word, highlighting the most human and itinerant dimension of the saint.
