La Venezia delle religioni”: from Marracci’s Qur’an to Christian-Muslim Dialogue"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

From Saturday 24 to Saturday 31 October 2026, the cloister of the convent of San Francesco della Vigna in Venice hosts the Mostra coranica. La Venezia delle religioni<\/em>, an exhibition open to the public, together with two round tables on relations between Islam and Christianity, the Muslim presence in Venice and interreligious dialogue as an instrument of peace. The initiative brings together the Fondazione Venezia per la Ricerca sulla Pace<\/strong><\/a>, the Department of Asian and North African Studies at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, the Friars Minor of San Francesco della Vigna and the Coranica project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The exhibition is based on “Coranica”, designed by the Fondazione Metamorfosi with the Office for Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue of the Archdiocese of Lucca and shown in Lucca in March 2026. It starts from the complete Latin translation of the Qur’an published in Padua in 1698 by the Lucca-born theologian and orientalist Ludovico Marracci, the Alcorani textus universus<\/em>, and traces the path of dialogue between Christianity and Islam up to the Document on Human Fraternity signed in Abu Dhabi in 2019 by Pope Francis and the Grand Imam of al-Azhar, Ahmad al-Tayyeb. The choice of a Franciscan convent recalls the thirteenth-century encounter between Francis of Assisi and Sultan al-Malik al-Kamil.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
