N.909 - Le sette opere della misericordia

Reinterpreting a seventeenth-century masterpiece like Caravaggio’s Seven Works of Mercy is not a responsibility entrusted lightly. We are deeply grateful to the Pio Monte della Misericordia for recognising almost four years of our work and entrusting us with one of our most ambitious projects. In the original, Caravaggio gathers all the acts of mercy of the Pio Monte into a single night scene. Four centuries later, with Giovanni Abeille, we have reimagined them in our own language and in today’s world: supporting families, access to work, education and healthcare, standing beside anyone facing hardship. The scale of the original led us to a more conceptual approach, away from any impossible comparison with the canvas, while keeping its timeless message. Nothing has changed: there are still those in need, and those who answer.
