The presentation in the Assisis Diocesan Museum and Crypt of San Rufino of this 21 in (54 cm) enlargement of the work MARIA Omnia Plena precedes that of the Biennal of Contemporary Sacred Art – BACS 2023 being held in Menton from Oct. 1 to 30, 2023.

The preview of this new version of MARIA, from July 23 to August 30, 2023 at the Diocesan Museum Crypt of San Rufino in Assisi, is due to the presence since 2000 of the permanent exhibition MARIA at the church of Santa Maria delle Rose in the same city of Assisi.

The inauguration at the Saint Francis cloister of the museum has been unexpectedly enriched by the voices of two singers of Assisi Performing Arts, the mezzo soprano Grace Hackett and the tenor Oswaldo Iraheta, thanks to the initiative of Monsignor Anthony Jesus Aleluia Figuereido, Vicary of the Parish of San Rufino Cathedral in Assisi.
