The Canticle of the Creatures" by Francis of Assisi, 800 years after its composition (1225-2025), a message still highly relevant and all to be rediscovered, is the inspiration for the 23rd edition of the Mistero dei Monti, which, at the foot of the Dolomites of Brenta, continues its journey—a perfect blend of emotions and reflections, in the presence of one of the most beautiful natural architectures in the world, itself a hymn to creation. A fragile beauty, however, threatened by human neglect, which calls all of us to an “ecological conversion,” to become zealous guardians of the environment, understood as our common home.
