Animated tours of the Scrovegni Chapel

Characters evoked by the actors of TeatrOrtaet come to life in an unusual journey, inviting visitors to allow themselves to be immersed between frescoes and dramatic lauds, between Stories of Salvation and Divine Comedy, between the great contrasts of wealth and poverty, fame and infamy, salvation and damnation.

The itinerary, starting from the side entrance, continues in the wonderful atmosphere of the chapel, where one can be enchanted by the lush tale of Salvation, and then concludes in the cloister of the Eremitani.

The show recounts the ambitions of Enrico Scrovegni who, through the construction of the frescoed chapel, hoped to bring prestige to his household. A policy also implemented through prominent marriages, such as the one to Jacopina d'Este, also evoked in the visit, and by attracting renowned artists, such as Giotto.

Inside the chapel, the meaning of the pictorial cycle is illustrated by Mary, the protagonist of the processional procession that, every March 25, the feast of the Annunciation, united the cathedral and the Arena chapel.
Let us immerse you in this exciting journey through the pages of history!

In collaboration with TeatrOrtaet.
