Through the creation of the official Rosary for the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral, Ghirelli® enters history, becoming part of a moment that will forever be etched in the collective memory. This Rosary is not only a symbol of Faith, but also a tribute to the rebirth of one of the world's most important Places of worship after the devastating fire of 2019. Ghirelli® personally signs the Rosary that will accompany this historic event, marking with his art and commitment an unforgettable chapter in the history of Notre-Dame Cathedral.
This prestigious project marks the culmination of a long and deep relationship between Ghirelli® and Notre-Dame that has lasted 20 years. Already an official partner of the Cathedral in the past, Ghirelli® has been able to combine Italian craftsmanship excellence with the spiritual and cultural value of one of the world's most iconic symbols.
The artistic directors of the reopening of Notre-Dame de Paris Cathedral wanted Alessandro Ghirelli in Paris several times to work with him directly on site. The invitation was a valuable gesture to allow him to preview the work in progress and understand the spirit that guided the long restoration process. These visits were intended to provide Alessandro with the necessary inspiration for the Creation of the official Rosary, a masterpiece that will accompany the celebration of the return of the Cathedral to full functionality on December 8, 2024. Alessandro was thus able to absorb the unique atmosphere of the place and translate into artistic form on the Rosary the meaning of a historic and symbolic event of great importance for Paris and the entire world.
To visit Notre-Dame Cathedral is to enter a world suspended in time, where every corner is an invitation to reflection and contemplation. Its beauty is not only visual, but spiritual, evocative. Every visitor can perceive, in a silence that pervades the interior, a sense of grandeur and transcendence that has endured for centuries. The cathedral is not just a place of worship, but a living work of art that continues to touch the hearts of people around the world, representing the immortal beauty of Faith and Art.
