The Alcalá de Guadaíra City Council and the General Council of Brotherhoods and Cofradías are launching the second edition of the preventive conservation cycle this Friday, starting with the altarpiece of San Juan Bosco from the Salesians.
The Salesians' Chapel will host this Friday 25th September, at 8:00 PM, the conference that opens the II Cycle of Preventive Conservation of the Heritage of the Brotherhoods of Alcalá de Guadaíra. The event is organized by the Alcalá de Guadaíra City Council and the General Council of Brotherhoods and Cofradías of the locality.
The restoration team formed by Alejandro Redondo, Victoria Fernández, and José Ángel del Valle, along with historian Enrique Ruiz, will explain the restoration process of the San Juan Bosco altarpiece. The following day, Saturday 26th September, there will be an open day from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM with the presence of the technical team.
The programme will continue in the coming months with the restoration of the altar base of the Virgen del Águila, interventions on the paintings of the Cristo de Burgos and the Cristo de los Desamparados, work on the María Magdalena by Manuel Pineda Calderón, the float of San Juan Evangelista de Jesús Nazareno, and several elements of the altarpiece of the Immaculate Conception of the parish of Santiago.
The delegate for Culture, Heritage, and Museum, Christopher Rivas, has pointed out that this cycle continues the municipal grants for restoring movable goods of brotherhoods, entities, or individuals.
“This initiative is a continuation of the municipal grants for the restoration of movable heritage goods of brotherhoods, entities, or individuals initiated by the City Council,” Rivas stated.
The councillor added that, after the interventions, these works “deserve to be enjoyed by the general population and any interested parties, institutions, or brotherhoods from other regions as significant works of art.” He also highlighted the shared commitment between institutions and brotherhoods.
“We have an important shared commitment between institutions and brotherhoods to care for, protect, and share the artistic values of religious heritage as symbols of our identity, and this leads us to explain and highlight how this wealth is conserved to avoid major restorations,” he continued.
Interested individuals can attend the conference on Friday afternoon and the open day on Saturday morning at the Salesians' Chapel, although the organization has not specified whether prior registration is required.
