The ecological complex includes state -generation, photovoltaic and circular management of water management systems, as well as spaces for educational activities for students.
This is “one of the Church’s initiatives aimed at making this’ vocation to be custodians of God’s work,” said Pope Leo XIV this Friday during the liturgical opening celebration.
In that context, the famous Italian lyric tenor Andrea Bocelli, along with his son Matteo, offered the Holy Father the musical interpretation of Dolce Feel.
At that time the singer referred to in his social networkscommenting that “it was deeply moving to witness first hand the tangible expression of what Pope Francis defended with such a force in his encyclical laudato if ‘: the urgent need for an ecological conversion for our common earthly home.”
“A decade later, the homonym project in the land of Castel Gandolfo stands as a perfect example of this vision: a true miracle of good will, where the splendor of nature and human effort are joined:” a creature between creatures “, as Pope Leo XIV stressed, in charge of the sacred duty of care (because nature” can only speak to us of God “),” he reflected.
Bocelli also shared that “the joy of witnessing the inauguration of the Aldea Laudato if ‘ – a virtuous center of higher education, inclusion, hospitality and sustainability – was even more increased by the honor of singing before the Holy Father, a man of God and a figure of very high stature, both spiritual and intellectual.”
Finally, he was moved to recognize: “When, together with my son Matteo, we sing the Dolce Feel, a prayer that evokes the sacredness and harmony of creation, I felt, as I had not felt in a long time, the strength of the divine providence and a renewed serenity when celebrating the Universal Church, which in Pope Leo XIV has found a new and firm pastor, a lighthouse to guide us in these complex times”.
