The Holy See’s pavilion at the Venice Biennale explores the musical and theological vision of Hildegard of Bingen through a contemporary artistic interpretation, developed with the guidance of a Benedictine nun teaching at the Pontifical Athenaeum of Sant’Anselmo.

For its official pavilion, the Holy See selected the 12th-century Benedictine mystic and Doctor of the Church as a primary source of inspiration.
