Art: beauty and instrument of evangelization

The Vatican Museums complex is a priceless heritage of creativity, civilization, art, history and tradition at the service of faith, with a staff of some 780 people, a number which reaches 1,000 when taking into account all its collaborators. Its exhibitions were viewed by about seven million people in 2023, and the same number of people is expected to have visited by the end of 2024. These are only some of figures of the Vatican Museums complex. At the request of Pius XI, following the Lateran Treaty, it became an organic and efficient institutional system, open to the world with an entrance built on the Vatican Walls. Barbara Jatta, who was Deputy Director of the Vatican Museums from 15 June 2016 to 1 January 2017, when she was appointed Director of the Directorate of Vatican Museums and Cultural Heritage of the Governorate of Vatican City State, speaks about the Museums in the following interview with www.vaticanstate.va.

Solidarity with the people of Valencia and all of Spain devastated by the DANA storm system

Art, culture and the Jubilee can be opportunities for solidarity and support to people affected by natural disasters, like the DANA storm system that struck Valencia.

Ms. Maria María Isabel Celaá Diéguez, Ambassador of Spain to the Holy See, is an expression of the close relationship between artistic masterpieces and charity. In his address, Cardinal Vérgez Alzaga expressed his sympathy to those affected by the “disastrous DANA storm system of 29 October, which devasted the Region of Valencia and other regions in Spain, last week, including Malaga and Granada”, and ensured his prayers for the victims.
