Harvesting Pope Francis's Call for Peace

Italian artist Dario Gambarin took six hours to plow the likeness of Pope Francis in his parents field in Castargnaro, Italy.


The artist chose Pope Francis as a subject as Mr. Gambarin was inspired by the Pontiff's call for a worldwide day of prayer and fasting for peace in Syria on September 7th.

Gambarin relies on his innate sense of proportion and his tractor driving capabilities to create his field art.   The image can only really be appreciated when flying near Verona. 

This type of art is deleted after a few days so the field can be cultivated for the new sowing of seed. 

May this act of artisinal agriculture remind us that "Love Liberates" as the world prays for peace in Syria.
