Original photograph from the collection of Peter Selz, who whose article Giacomo Manzù and his portal for St. Peter's appeared in the December 2001 issue of Sculpture Magazine.Giacomo Manzù, a sculptor, medalist, graphic artist, and illustrator, was born in Bergamo on December 22, 1908. His original name was Giacamo Manzoni. He was an important twentieth-century sculptor of religious statuary.In 1929 Manzù traveled to Paris. He decided to move to Milan in 1930. In his first group exhibitions of the following years, he met Carlo Carrà (1881 1966). Around the same time, Manzù received his first commissions for religious art, including statuary for the Catholic University chapel in Milan. In 1934 the artist traveled to Rome to visit St. Peters. His visual impressions of this visit became the basis of a bronze of a cardinal in 1938. In 1937 his work was shown in the Galleria della Cometa in Rome. He was assigned his own section of the Venice Biennale of the following year. From 1941 to 1954 he taught at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, where his first retrospective show was mounted in the Palazzo Reale in 1947. The same year, he entered a competition for the design of a door for St. Peters in Rome, and was awarded the official commission in 1952. The planned theme was "the triumph of the saints and the martyrs of the church", but the door was never executed. From 1954 to 1966 Manzù taught sculpture at the International Summer Academy in Salzburg. He was commissioned to design the main portal of the Salzburg Cathedral in 1955, and Pope John 23rd (1958-1963) asked him to make the "Portal of Death" for St. Peters cathedral. Manzù showed his work at the Kassel "documenta" exhibitions 2 and 6 in 1959 and 1977. The Manzù Museum was founded in 1969 in Ardea, near Rome.

Rempi to Rebiamul covers the history of the Catholic church since the early days when missions were set up in Madang and the Highland areas of Papua New Guinea. In 1934, Fathers Ross, Schaefer, Tropper, Aufenanger and Brother Eugene made a 40 day trek from the coast and were greeted by headmen Kawagl in the Chimbu and Wamp Wan and Ninji Kama in the Mt Hagen area. Fr Ross worked in Mt Hagen for forty years along with Archbishop Bernarding, who was followed by Archbishops Meier and Young. The development of the Church is described through the lives of the clergy, government officials and the people in Mt Hagen based on interviews the author made and research carried out in the 1970s and more recently in 2015. The building of the Holy Trinity Cathedral in Mt Hagen demonstrates the maturity and vibrancy of the Catholic Church in the region which now has 190, 000 Catholics. Archbishop Young of Mt Hagen wrote, Mrs Mennis has done a wonderful job in selecting a good beginning, an open end and a series of interesting threads. Rempi to Rebiamul is presented in the expectation that these past stories will be of interest to present and future readers., University of Papua New Guinea Press, 2016, 5, Rome, Italy: Oscar Savio, [1968]..

In his first group exhibitions of the following years, he met Carlo Carrà (1881 1966). Around the same time, Manzù received his first commissions for religious art, including statuary for the Catholic University chapel in Milan. In 1934 the artist traveled to Rome to visit St. Peters. His visual impressions of this visit became the basis of a bronze of a cardinal in 1938. In 1937 his work was shown in the Galleria della Cometa in Rome. He was assigned his own section of the Venice Biennale of the following year. From 1941 to 1954 he taught at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, where his first retrospective show was mounted in the Palazzo Reale in 1947. The same year, he entered a competition for the design of a door for St. Peters in Rome, and was awarded the official commission in 1952. The planned theme was "the triumph of the saints and the martyrs of the church", but the door was never executed. From 1954 to 1966 Manzù taught sculpture at the International Summer Academy in Salzburg. He was commissioned to design the main portal of the Salzburg Cathedral in 1955, and Pope John 23rd (1958-1963) asked him to make the "Portal of Death" for St. Peters cathedral. Manzù showed his work at the Kassel "documenta" exhibitions 2 and 6 in 1959 and 1977. The Manzù Museum was founded in 1969 in Ardea, near Rome.
