Lux in arcana: the Vatican Archive shows its secrets
Posted in Events in Rome, International events in the Capital - November 22nd, 2011
Lux in arcana (Latin, literally “light in mysteries”) is an event without precedent: for the first time in the thousand-years-old story of the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican Secret Archive will open its doors and show one hundred, precious documents to the public. These documents will be on display at Capitoline Museums of Rome in Piazza del Campidoglio 1 (Capitol Square) from March 1 to September 9, 2012.
And maybe Lux in arcana will be the only time when these documents will pass the doors of the Vatican Archive: manuscripts, codices and ancient parchments that narrate about conclaves and heresies, popes and imperators, crusades and excommunications, from VIII century AD to XX century.
Here you have some of the documents on display: the Dictatus Papae of Pope Gregorio VII, the deposition bull of Federico II, the excommunication of Leone X to Martin Luther, the public records of the trial against Galileo Galilei, the silk letter of the empress Helen from China, some selected documents concerning the “reserved period” of the Second World War.
To get to Capitoline Museums in the occasion of Lux in arcana, take the metro Linea A and get off at Colosseo (Coliseum) stop. And to comfortably enjoy this exhibition in Rome, it’s good to stay at the 4 star superior Atlante Star Hotel, in the centre of the Eternal City.
