In the rhythm of recent weeks, filled with profound moments of transition—the passing of Pope Francis and the election of Pope Leo XIV—the beauty of March 25th continues to illuminate our hearts like a gentle flame that refuses to fade.
That day, we witnessed something extraordinary: doors opening not just in photographs, but in souls. The 'Open Doors' exhibition at the Vatican's Casina Pio IV became a symphony of human connection, where every image whispered stories of possibility, and every conversation planted seeds of hope.
It was a day when art met faith, when local flavors shared the same table with global dreams, when the ancient wisdom of sharing a meal reminded us that we are all connected at the deepest level.
None of this magic could have happened without hearts that made it possible: Ali Mahir Aksu who p*s the producer and supported the event, believing in it all the way, with immense intellectual honesty; the Dicastery for Communication; The ImPact.
The exhibition and the event were organized together with Autumnus Trento - I frutti della terraus, who nourished our bodies and souls; the Trentino Alto Adige Region and the Servizio Ripristino of Province of Trento; the team of Emotions to Generate Change and the volunteers whose gentle hands shaped every moment.
Today, as we navigate dark times, the echoes of that March day remind us that every door—no matter how heavy it seems—can indeed be opened. Sometimes all it takes is the courage to believe and the community to make it possible.
