The Valencian Community Light of Images Foundation is to participate
at the International Tourism Fair (FITUR), which will be opened
next Wednesday 30th January, with a stand on the exhibition
entitled "The Light of Images of Segorbe: unknown, admirable".".
The stand reproduces the dome of Segorbe Cathedral, with the
frescos painted by Valencian painter Luís Planes and
Manuel Camarón. There is also a video about the work
done for restoration of the Cathedral, the church of San Joaquín
y Santa Ana and the temple of San Martín convent. The
film shows the work done for recovery of the buildings and
the items shown at the exhibition. At the stand catalogues
of the exhibition, posters, information brochures, a wide
variety of the craftsman-products from Alto Palancia and different
promotional products for The Light of Images will all be available
for the visitor.
With its presence at FITUR, The Light of Images consolidates
and culminates the promotion work that the foundation, promoted
by the Valencian Culture and Education Ministry, is doing
for recovery and publicity of the Valencian artistic historical
heritage. This promotion campaign started precisely at the
last edition of FITUR, at which Valencian Minister of Culture
and Education, Manuel Tarancón, presented the basic
lines of the project for the Segorbe exhibition, the second
act of the foundation. The exhibition's stand has shown the
contents displayed, recovering the art of the Segorbe-Castellón
diocese at tourist events held in Barcelona, Bilbao, Saragossa
or London.
The Light of Images has already started the work for preparing
the buildings in Orihuela to act as venues for the third edition
of The Light of Images, intended for 2003. The Orihuela exhibition,
which will recover the artistic heritage of the Alicante diocese,
will involve six exhibition spaces: the church of Santiago,
church of Santas Justa y Rufina, El Salvador Cathedral, church
of Santo Domingo convent and the Bishops' palace. The foundation
will also invest 323 million pesetas in the restoration of
San Agustín temple, which will be prepared for worship.
