“In order to understand this charism, Vincent also had his Tabor, the interior place where his vocation to evangelize the poor was revealed to him. This is how Giuseppe Antonio Petrini paints him.”

This series is a visual memory of the great exhibition The Colors of Charity: Iconography of Saint Vincent de Paul in Italian art between the eighteenth and twentieth centuries, which was on exhibit from 15 December 2017 to 25 February 2018 at the Collegio Alberoni of Piacenza.
The Congregation of the Mission has “described these masterpieces in a video, in order to give a visual testimony and also to allow those who were not able to take part directly in the exhibition to enjoy its beauty.”
– Fr. Erminio Antonello, CM, Province of Italy
