Conferences and Events Program
Aware that the space created by the Christian community and in which it is celebrated can only be an image of the spiritual vitality of the Church itself, the 2026 edition of DEVOTIO offers a reflection on the theme LITURGICAL SPACE: PLACE OF FAITH, CULTURAL HERITAGE, presented within a rich calendar of cultural initiatives. The activities are mainly addressed to ecclesiastical audiences, liturgists, catechists, artists, designers, architects, teachers, Church professionals, and those who live in and manage places of worship.
EDUCATIONAL CREDITS: Recognition of educational credits has been requested from the Order of Architects of Bologna.

Institutional conference
Church museums, archives, and libraries are cultural institutions that play a fundamental role in spreading knowledge, proclaiming the faith, and promoting culture. Archives preserve documents that can help us understand the present, libraries are centers of cultural gathering and learning, and museums are spaces for the conservation and exhibition of works of art open to contemporary art research.
