On the occasion of the centenary of Father Costantino Ruggeri's birth, the Shrine of Our Lady of Divine Love dedicates a day in his memory. The initiative, scheduled for Saturday 25 October 2025, aims to pay homage to the Franciscan friar and artist who designed the new Sanctuary, author of an architectural language capable of combining spirituality, light and harmony.
The day will open with the celebration of Holy Mass in the old Sanctuary, followed by a meeting in the Don Umberto Terenzi hall and a visit to the new Sanctuary.
At 12 noon there will be the inauguration of the exhibition of Father Costantino Ruggeri's artistic works set up in the exhibition hall, curated by Maria Antonietta Crippa, with Chiara Rovati and Luciano Agostini for the installation.
The conference will be attended by representatives of the Diocese of Rome, the Sanctuary and scholars who will explore the spiritual and artistic value of Ruggeri's work and its influence on contemporary sacred architecture.
The day will end with a convivial moment open to participants.
