Inauguration of the photography exhibition Faith and War at the Fondazione Ambrosianeum in Milan, October 27, 2025.
Ambrosianeum foundation and Memora APS collective present the photographic exhibition Faith and War, on view from October 27, 2025, to April 6, 2026, in the spaces of Ambrosianeum at Via delle Ore 3, near the Duomo in Milan.
The exhibition is promoted by Ambrosianeum and the Memora collective, with patronage from the Archdiocese of Milan, Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, and PIME, and supported by Fondazione BCC, CCL – Consorzio Cooperative Lavoratori, and Bink’s.
The photographic exhibition Faith and War, serves as a poignant reflection of our era.
It offers visitors a space to engage with the world around us through a complimentary display of images, transcending mere documentation, evolving into works that preserve memory and enduring truths, illuminating contexts often overlooked by society at large.
Faith and War is a collective project and an open work.
Through the perspectives of photographers Carlo Cozzoli, Davide Canella, Alessandro Cimma, and Marco Cremonesi, it documents various ongoing conflicts in the world today: Myanmar and Nigeria, Syria, Lebanon and Armenia are the locations where the photographs comprising the exhibition were taken.
With a distinctive installation in the upper dome of the Rotonda dei Pellegrini, entirely designed, curatorially and physically installed and curated by Memora, the exhibition underscores how faith remains an inescapable theme in war reportage also proposing a calendar of presentations and cultural events with experts and witnesses.
Installation at the deconsecrated church on Via Palmanova, Milan. The canvases are precisely embedded within the arched niches, establishing a
thoughtful dialogue with the building’s original architecture and sacred geometry.
The exhibition features photographs by Carlo Cozzoli documenting the civil war in Myanmar, unfolding as a powerful and deeply evocative visual narrative.
