Goffredo Gaeta

Sacred art in Bologna Rastignano

The volume collects the numerous works of art, once again deployed with various different techniques by Maestro Goffredo Gaeta in a sacred structure in our country. This is the new parish church of Santi Pietro e Girolamo in Rastignano di Bologna. The Maestro expresses himself with the creativity that is universally recognised through the marble altar and lectern, the bronze door dedicated to St. Peter and his famous stained-glass windows constructed, with a very personal technique, on shatterproof glass and large one-piece surfaces.



The book, bound with a dust jacket, is fully illustrated in four-colour illustrations to show the richness and variety of the last works of the recently deceased Maestro from Faenza.
