The square celebrates the donation of 23 works by Beverly Pepper to the city of Todi for the creation of a park dedicated to her.
Forty years after the first installation of the Todi columns, the sculptures that caused a sensation in 1969, as a temporary installation during the park’s renovation, are returning to the city square. This is an opportunity for the people of Todi to once again engage with contemporary art and with an artist who has now become a fellow citizen and a friend.

The Church of Santa Maria del Suffragio was built in memory of the victims of the 1703 earthquake. Construction continued for over a century, but the people immediately called it Anime Sante (Holy Souls).

The 2009 earthquake hit it hard, and the images of its dome collapsing on live television have become one of the most dramatic images of that disaster.

Ten years later, the documentary “The Holy Souls” recounts one of the most meticulous and complex recovery and restoration projects currently rebuilding the city of L’Aquila. This important and unique project, reflecting the symbolism that the Holy Souls have always represented,
was made possible by the collaboration between Italian and French restoration schools, the expertise of the workers on site, and the equal commitment of Italy and France.

Beverly Pepper Amphisculpture 2018 is a documentary film about the land art work donated
by the U.S. artist to the city of L’Aquila, a work connected to the
restoration and recovery site of the Basilica of Collemaggio and the adjacent Parco del Sole.

Beverly Pepper’s project is a very courageous work of art, especially
for its significance and the relationship it will have with the city. An artistic idea that,
adapting itself to the site, in delicate balance, adapting it, reshapes it in new forms.

An account of 3 years of the event that brought jazz to earthquake-stricken lands, in L’Aquila with the big event in 2015, L’Aquila and Amatrice with an event spread throughout Italy in 2016, and then in 2017 with 4 events in the earthquake-stricken regions of central Italy.

A visionary project, bringing the Italian jazz scene to L’Aquila, in a single day, inside a city that was under construction.

A documentary on sustainability in the post-earthquake period in L’Aquila: urban planning and technical issues, environmental integration, the psychological and anthropological impact, legality, and the role of mafias in constructing temporary solutions after the earthquake. An investigation into the concept of the city and the form it takes after a disruptive event like an earthquake, and the tendency for urban peripheries to develop according to a decentralizing model (slowly and progressively in Italy, but rapidly and traumatically in L’Aquila).

A documentary dedicated to Saturnino Gatti, painter, sculptor and modeller born in Pizzoli in 1463 and died in L’Aquila in 1518, one of the most important protagonists of the artistic Renaissance in L’Aquila.

Accompanied by its most illustrious scholar, Professor Ferdinando Bologna, Saturnino is a journey to the places of Central Italian Renaissance art to discover its works and its events.
