Last week at St Mark’s

Here at St Mark’s we like to be a venue
for different artistic and cultural events.

Check out our Services and Events page for what’s coming up next week…

Last week we had two concerts in the church,
and a very interesting talk from Jason Arkles in our 15th century Salone.

We had a concert from the girls at South Hampsted School in London
and an A Cappella Ensemble from Virginia Wesleyan University - Juke Vox (insta@vwuchoirs)

Both performing a variety of different music genres
which were much appreciated.

Jason Arkles, an American Sculptor living in Florence,
arrived back from the States, the night before his talk,
and he came hot-foot to St Mark’s Church the very next evening,
on St Mark’s day.
He was warmly welcomed and everyone enjoyed his talk detailing the idea, conception, creation and installation of his marvellous statue. of St Mark.

You can read more about him and his work, on our ‘History of St Mark’s’ page.

Wine and nibbles followed.

Our thanks to Jason for a very interesting talk about St Mark’s Statue.

The only permanent statue in Florence
by an American sculptor

We have a service of Choral Eucharist every Sunday
at 10.30 am
followed by refreshments after the service.

YOU would be very welcome.

sculpture in Pietrasanta

In the end, only the smallest of vehicles (a 3 wheeled ape)
could transport the 1 ton statue
to Via Maggio
to be erected in it’s niche!
