The cathedral of Santa Chiara d’Assisi is the main place of worship in Iglesias. Built from 1284, it has been the subject of several restorations over time, in fact it presents elements in Roman and Gothic style.
The starry vault in Catalan Gothic style was the point of inspiration for the creation of the liturgical set.
The inspiration for this custom project comes from some of the stone floral elements that adorn the Mother Church of Saint Nicolò, in Avola.
The liturgical set for the Parish of Saint Francesco di Paola is made taking as a reference the new modern style of the church. Recently renovated, the part of the presbytery was made using square and rectangular geometric shapes, including the crucifix that, as its creator Don Leo Di Simone explains, “floats in the cosmos”.
The Cathedral of Amalfi, also known as Cathedral of Saint Andrew, is the main place of worship on the Amalfi coast. In baroque style, the interior of the church has a beautiful coffered ceiling, adorned with several biblical scenes by Giuseppe Castellano.
It is from this particular element of the Cathedral that the project comes to life.
The inspiration for this project comes from the ceiling of the Mother Church of San Giovanni Gemini, dedicated to the patron saint St. John the Baptist.
The decorations, colors and geometric designs that embellish the nave were reproduced and reworked for the creation of the chasuble.
In 1600 the famous painting depicting the Madonna with Child (“Madonna dell’Arco”), was secured and placed inside a small marble temple designed by Bartolomeo Picchiati.
Today those colorful geometries that frame the painting, have been used as inspiration for the realization of this liturgical set.
For the realization of the altar cloth for the parish of Santa Maria Assunta we wanted to use as a reference the gold decorations on the tabernacle, together with Marian elements, including the statue of the Virgin.
Personalized project dedicated to the church belonging to the Archdiocese of Reggio Calabria – Bova.
The inspiration for this project comes from the floor of the church, its simple geometries in warm tones, have been the subject for the realization of the stolons
Custom project made for the Basilica Cathedral of saint Marco, Venice.
Reproduction embroidery of cosmic cross present on the domes of the Basilica.
The inspiration for this project comes from the Basilica of San Gennaro in Antignano. Located in one of the oldest areas of the hilly district of Vomero, it is one of the many places of worship dedicated to the patron and martyr of Naples.
The bas-relief on the front and the symbols related to the saint, were elements of inspiration for the creation of the parato.
“The sacred garments of the High Priest are rich in symbolism […] The names of the twelve tribes of Israel were also engraved on the breastplate (cfr Es 28,21). This means that the priest celebrates by carrying on his shoulders the people entrusted to him and carrying his names engraved in his heart. When we clothe ourselves with our humble chasuble it can do us good to feel the weight and face of our Faithful people, of our saints and martyrs, who are so many at this time!”
This is what Pope Francis preached during the Chrism Mass on March 18, 2013, and it is from this specific homily that the idea for this liturgical parade was born.
The theme of the people, of the faithful who become weight and joy in the heart of the Priest, is revisited and developed for the Diocese of Nola. The latter includes 41 municipalities, divided into 8 deaneries, and it is precisely these 8 areas of the city that have been used as the pincipal theme of the parade: small jewels set and inserted in the stolons of the chasuble.
The realization of this chasuble takes inspiration from the ceiling of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria dei Miracoli.
Giovanni Antonio Amadeo, renaissance architect and sculptor who dedicated himself to the construction of the nave, also took part in the construction work, developing a monumental vaulted barrel vault for which the church is still famous today.
