Abstract

The form of faith is a living form, starting from a Urform, according to an aesthetics manner. Art and architecture have the same virtual capacity of ritual to create the counterintuitive world. We have two ways of transmitting faith: repetition and emotion. Repetition is the form of the ritual and emotion is what all the three opera must have in common. Liturgy, Art and Architecture are understood as opus. There is a temporal relationship between vital becoming of this three opera and the user. Forms change over time and they should continue communicating on the basis of a positive relationship with users. In the Italian context there is a fracture between some users and the making of the form. The fracture needs to be reconciled through an appropriate education of principals and worshippers. The methodological process for Alberto Gianfreda’s liturgical adaptation of Tolentini’s church in Venice is brought to attention.

Author Biography

Francesca Leto, Independent researcher, Camposampiero (Padova)

I am Architect (Venice, 1994) and have a PhD in Theology with specialization in pastoral Liturgy (Institute of pastoral Liturgy of St. Giustina, Padova, 2017). My dissertation was about the sacred space and rituals. I am member of the Association of Professors of Liturgy. My field of activity as architect is about liturgical adaptation and I am building a new church in Sardegna (Italy) following the 6th edition of the Competition Guiding Projects of the Italian Bishops Conference. I have been lecturer in many conferences and in different University: Pontifical Theological University of Southern Italy, S. Luigi, Theological University of Triveneto and visiting professor at Pontifical Institute St. Anselmo, Roma, in the Master, “Architecture for Liturgy”: Theology of liturgical place. I work as an architect and as a liturgical consultant for many competitions for the building of new worship places. I am author of various articles in journals and publications.
