Contemporary art exhibition opens at Santa Maria della Stella in Camaiore
The Santa Maria della Stella parish in Camaiore has opened a contemporary art exhibition titled La soglia dell’anima. The exhibition is part of a cultural project by the parish and local community to use art as a means for spiritual reflection and interior research.
The exhibition features sculptures by Lorenzo Vignoli and a video installation, Come l’acqua, by Nicola Raffaetà. These works are presented within the church, which was built in the late 15th century by the Confraternita di Nostra Signora della Stella to serve alongside a hospice for the poor and pilgrims.
Located in the historic center of Camaiore near the Via Francigena, the church's history is tied to hospitality and the movement of travelers. The project seeks to connect the church's traditional role as a place of rest for pilgrims with contemporary artistic expressions.
