CITTA’ DEL VATICANO – E’ un omaggio a papa Bergoglio, al suo Paese natale, e alle sue origini italiane quello che va in scena al Braccio di Carlo Magno, in Piazza San Pietro, con la mostra ”Argentina – Il gaucho, tradizione, arte e fede”, dedicata al patrimonio artistico tipico della storia e delle tradizioni del popolo argentino.
La rassegna, organizzata da Artifex e dalla Regione Marche, seleziona opere di collezionisti argentini. E’ aperta da oggi 17 maggio (LaPresse)

The Gaucho: Tradition, Art and Faith", in the Carlo Magno wing of Bernini's colonnade in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, Friday, May 17, 2013. If Pope Francis is getting a bit nostalgic, all he has to do is slip into St. Peter's Square for a dose of Argentine culture. In a remarkable coincidence, a long-planned exhibit on Argentina's famed gauchos opens Friday in the Vatican's exhibit space just off the piazza. The exhibition will run until June 16, 2013.
