On December 25, 2024 it will air in prime time on Channel 5 the 32nd Christmas concert in the Vatican he will be driving again this year Federica Panicucci which will present a lineup of exceptional Italian and international artists gathered in an evening aimed at supporting the fundraising of two humanitarian projects in favor of minors promoted by Missioni Don Bosco.
The event, repeated on the Mediaset flagship network on 26 December, was recorded last 14 December after Pope Francis met the artists in a private audience, underlining the value of music as an instrument of unity and hope, in harmony with the Church's journey towards the Jubilee.
The Christmas concert was born in 1993 in the Paul VI Hall in the Vatican as a tool to raise awareness of the project of the Vicariate of Rome “50 churches for Rome 2000” and to collect resources for its implementation. Since then, every year it brings together great artists of international fame, in a unique celebration of the most beloved and spiritual festival in the world.
The proceeds of the Concert (earned from tickets and sponsors, etc.) are not donated to charity but you can support the fundraising for the two humanitarian projects by sending solidarity SMS to 45594.
