If you are looking for a unique cultural and spiritual experience in the heart of Brianza, the majestic Royal Palace of Monza is hosting an unmissable event. Until 31st October 2026, you can immerse yourself in the exhibition “UR-RA – Unity of Religions – Responsibility of Art”, the new and profound project by the master of Arte Povera, Michelangelo Pistoletto.
This exhibition is not just an artistic event; it is a true manifesto for peace, harmony and social cohesion, using the universal language of art to promote interfaith dialogue.
A journey through Art, Spirituality and Responsibility
The exhibition ‘UR-RA’ (which stands for Unity of Religions – Responsibility of Art) is the culmination of Pistoletto’s Third Paradise project. Through iconic installations and new works, the artist reflects on the fundamental role that art can and must play in promoting dialogue between different faiths and responsibility towards the planet.
Il Terzo Paradiso: a central symbol of Pistoletto’s work, this piece reinterprets the mathematical symbol for infinity, adding a central circle that represents the reconciliation between two opposites (natural and artificial paradise), creating a new balance. A powerful message of harmony displayed in the historic setting of the Reggia.
Dialogo Interreligioso: the exhibition presents elements that recall the main religious traditions, highlighting their common values of love, respect and responsibility. An opportunity to meditate on the unity of human spirituality.
An exceptional location: the choice of the Royal Palace of Monza, a jewel of neoclassical architecture and a symbol of history and culture, adds extraordinary value to the experience. The rooms of the Royal Palace interact perfectly with the conceptual power of Pistoletto’s works.
