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.

In order to make right choices about the opportunities offered by current restoration techniques, it is essential that technical considerations are never separated from the symbolic and liturgical aspects for which these buildings were originally designed. The event Restoring Churches: A Present Commitment to the Past and for the Future will open with a lectio magistralis by Donatella Fiorani, followed by a round table discussion with experts in the field who will seek to address key questions on the topic.
The exhibition OLTRE I PERCORSI (Beyond the Paths) offers an overview of the works produced during the four editions of PERCORSI DI RIAVVICINAMENTO: ARTISTI CONTEMPORANEI A CONFRONTO CON IL MISTERO CRISTIANO (Approaching Paths: Contemporary Artists confronting the Christina Mistery), integrating the works already presented with other creations not necessarily of a sacred nature, that reflects witness to the artists' personal journeys of exploration and development.
Renewable Energy Communities (RECs) are essential tools for driving ecological transition and fostering social cohesion from an integral ecological perspective, which encompasses environmental protection, justice in economic and social relations, and care for both individuals and communities.
