Today, November 7, 2018, the 7 winners of the regional grant Arte sui cammini were presented at Maxxi museum. With this grant, the Lazio Region started a project in 2017 to realize contemporary works of art along spiritual pathways.
An idea founded on the trust of the virtuous relationship between art and religious paths, it deals with a real experimentation through which it promotes and enriches various wonderful places in Lazio by adding works of art of absolute value. The winning projects were chosen from 35 submissions in reply to a public call. They will be financed by the Lazio Region. Specifically these are:

The development of Cammini del Lazio. With the same goal, the Lazio Region inserted Cammini del Lazio between the recipients of the grant of 500 thousand euro for the development of the cultural heritage with live spectacle. Thanks to the law of the paths approved in 2017, there have been resources allocated for 350 thousand euro to promote the network of the paths. “We are at a very important turning point from the perspective of cultural development and administration to enrich the cultural offerings of our territories. We want to highlight the development of our regional heritage, which has great potential.” said by the President, Nicola Zingaretti, who added: “The paths of faith, in particular, are very important for our territory. The pilgrimages are important not only for reaching a final destination, but because the traveler shapes themselves in meeting others. From this we got the idea to place contemporary artworks on paths that we want to promote. And, I believe, a unicum of the earth.“
