The Accademia Valdarnese del Poggio, with the fourth cycle of meetings of the 'Visionaries and/or Prophets' Project, resumes its journey of discovery of some of the most iconic personalities of the last century, in collaboration with the municipalities of the Arezzo and Florence Valdarno.
The long journey, begun in 2020, in which today's man is placed at the centre of attention on the basis of past examples of life, starts again in March with Madeleine Delbrêl, mystic and essayist.
At seventeen, Madeleine wrote "God is Dead!", thus professing herself a convinced atheist. Her move to Paris with her family, her new friendships with many young people, her love for a young man who would later enter the Dominican Order as a novice, and her work as a social worker, would lead her to completely change her vision. Madeleine Delbrêl expressed a living synthesis between religious intensity and real attention to the human condition, living a new 'mission': to incarnate the proclamation of the Gospel in every small action of daily life.
Today, there are still a few of her communities and the 'Friends of Madeleine Delbrêl' association, which numbers some 500 people in France and abroad.
OnSaturday 12 March at 5.30 p.m. at Palazzo Pretorio, Serena Noceti (theologian and lecturer in Systematic Theology at the Istituto Superiore di Scienze Religiose 'I. Galantini' in Florence) will discuss this character.
