Angels for peace travelling from Ancona to Assisi

 To commemorate the meeting 800 years ago between St. Francis and Sultan on the battlefields of Damietta, Christoph Band travelled to Ancona, Italy, the port where St. Francis of Assisi departed for the Holy Lands to spread his message of peace.

 During his travel to Italy, UCV Peace Ambassador Christoph Band met with municipal leaders, Franciscan friars, fishermen, dockworkers, people on the street and in places of meditation and worship, in the countryside and in the cities. He also met with people of all nations on pilgrimage to Assisi. It was here that his travels culminated in a meeting of special importance with Padre Gianmaria Polidoro founder of Assisi Pax and President Gerardo Navazio to reaffirm shared commitment to promote a culture of peace and tolerance.

Through my art i spread one simple message: „We are all connected“. If we follow UNESCO`s code of ethics the world would be a better place.
