The exhibit, “Iran, Spiritual Manifestation in Art” was inaugurated during a ceremony on October 22 at the venue of Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma in Italy.

Iran’s ambassador to the Vatican Mohammad-Javad Faridzadeh, the cultural deputy of the mayor of Shiraz Mohammad Ali Moein, Iran’s cultural attaché in Italy Alireza Esmaeili and other Iranian and Italian officials attended the event.

The works on display have been created over the last two years by 18 artists from Shiraz in a collaborative effort. The collection consists of 73 artworks including calligraphy-painting, illumination, miniatures and calligraphy on the theme of Rumi, Moin mentioned during the ceremony.

Esmaeili went on to say that Rumi has become a global symbol of altruism, honesty and spiritualism. The cultural attaché’s office is holding this exhibit in Italy during Iran’s cultural week in honor of the 800th birth anniversary of Rumi.

Four artists from Shiraz will be holding workshops on Iranian miniatures, calligraphy and contemporary art on the sidelines of the event.
