New presbytery, altar, seat, ambo Cistercian abbey from the 12th century. of Rivalta Scrivia (AL)
The abbey of Rivalta Scrivia, in the panorama of Cistercian thought, represents a unicum for a variety of reasons. Its heterogeneity in terms of materials, shapes and spaces is decidedly peculiar and stimulates progressive curiosity and an invitation to discovery in the observer, as soon as the initial impression of an immediate and unitary reading perceived upon entering gradually leaves room for a journey of surprises.
Volume, material and form are components of a complex language from which the reflection underlying the liturgical adaptation project that I conceived for the new presbytery of Rivalta Scrivia, currently practically non-existent, starts. The place is designed not to create distractions for meditation, to which you are invited by a path of progressive immersion through a skilful management of volumes and proportions that can surprise. The Cistercian method presents unsuspected elements of contemporaneity and contamination, renouncing the descriptive and figurative element except for stylized phytomorphic references.
In collaborazione con la Sovrintendenza e i Beni culturali della Diocesi è iniziata la realizzazione del nuovo progetto di Raul Gabriel © per la abbazia cistercense del XII sec di Rivalta Scrivia dopo due anni di percorso con le comunita, gli storici, gli enti locali . Il progetto si propone di percorrere una strada specifica nel rapporto tra arte contemporanea e monumenti storici che non sacrifichi nessun delle due dimensioni. Contemporaneo e storico secondo Raul Gabriel possono dialogare e compenetrarsi a patto di affrontare un percorso di approfondimento delle tematiche essenziali dell’edificio storico per reinterpretarle secondo regole impossibili da generalizzare e da valutare caso per caso. Le parole chiave nel progetto di Raul Gabriel sono armonia, singolarità, rispetto, significato, dinamica. La supervisione liturgica è a cura di Mons Vittorio Viola, vescovo emerito di Tortona e dal 5 giugno 2022 segretario del Dicastero per il culto divino e la disciplina dei sacramenti.
