L’Università Bocconi ha aperto una galleria d’arte nella sua nuova sede a Roma: la prima mostra parla di sacro
Bocconi University has inaugurated a new art gallery at its Rome campus, Villa Morgagni, launching the Bocconi Art Gallery (BAG) program in the capital. The debut exhibition features the work of Brazilian artist and Franciscan friar Sidival Fila, who is known for transforming discarded ecclesiastical textiles and liturgical objects into contemporary art. His practice involves stitching, cutting, and remodeling ancient fabrics to explore themes of transcendence, immanence, and human history.
This opening marks a significant expansion of Bocconi’s cultural footprint, bringing its established Milanese art initiative to Rome. By showcasing Fila’s work—which bridges the gap between sacred ritual and contemporary abstraction—the university highlights the intersection of philanthropy, art, and social inclusion. The exhibition also serves to promote the mission of the Sidival Fila Philanthropic Foundation, which supports disadvantaged communities globally.
