Gifts of hope

The exhibition focuses on the theme of gift as a founding element of Christian and community experience. Through an articulated exhibition, multiple declinations of the concept are explored: from the gift of the magi to the figure of Little Jesusby the supreme sacrifice of Christ for humanity to the gift of service to others. The concrete action of the brotherhoods, of the benefactors through testamentary legacies, and of the soldiers at the front, who embody a lived and shared offering.

The works on display, including sacred commissions, votive offerings and devotional objects, speak of a commitment that was as private as it was public: their presence testifies to how art and liturgical support supported collective life and even influenced the political scene. The MAB room is dedicated to recounting the impact of the8xmillewhich in recent decades have promoted restorations, valorisation, volunteering, protection of heritage and the work of the cultural institutes (museums, archives, libraries).

In this journey, the community and the territory are the protagonists: the cultural wealth of the Cuneo region emerges as a mosaic of faith, charismas, solidaritywith a narrative thread that unites spirituality and social commitment. The exhibition is intended as an opportunity to reflect on the value of gift as a generous and founding act of living together.

📍 The exhibition is housed in the MAB spaces of Fossano in Via Vescovado 8.
