Agnes in lumen. The project for the enhancement of the Sant'Agnese in Agone Crypt

Claudio Strinati takes us on a journey through the history, architecture, and the art enclosed in the Crypt of Sant'Agnese in Agone. An environment that has remained far away from the gaze of both worshippers and tourists will now live a new life thanks to the Webuild Group's initiative to create a modern LED lighting system that enhances the works and the environments of the crypt, preserving an intimate atmosphere.
In Professor Strinati's account, the events leading up to the martyrdom and sanctification of the very young Agnes are accompanied by images of how the initiative has brought out of darkness and oblivion the reclaimed and restored crypt spaces, where frescoes, tombstones and high reliefs keep vivid the memory of the young Agnes and her martyrdom.
Webuild and the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia celebrate the Baroque in Rome and the enhancement of the Crypt of St. Agnes with a concert event in Piazza Navona.
On Monday, April 22, 2024, starting at 7:30 p.m., the concert will be projected live on the façade of the Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone.
