The Coranica Exhibition represents an important occasion for the encounter between textual tradition and contemporary research on interreligious dialogue. Through the valorisation of Ludovico Marracci's work Alcorani Textus Universus, distinguished by its philological and textual rigor, the exhibition offers a space for knowledge and exchange, fostering a deeper understanding of religious traditions and their mutual relationships. Building on this exhibition experience, the event titled "Magnifica Humanitas and Human Fraternity: an inspiration for Interreligious Dialogue" develops a broader reflection on the anthropological and theological foundations of human fraternity. The thematic pathway aims to highlight how the doctrinal roots of different religious traditions can contribute to the construction of a culture of fraternity, understood not merely as an ethical ideal, but as an operative principle of dialogue, coexistence, and mutual recognition. The contributions of the participating speakers will offer complementary perspectives from academic, ecclesial, and Islamic contexts, with the aim of highlighting the possibilities of convergence between religious traditions in promoting a shared vision of human dignity. In this sense, the transition "Magnifica Humanitas and Human Fraternity" becomes the guiding thread of an interdisciplinary reflection on the contemporary meaning of interreligious dialogue. The initiative thus takes shape as a laboratory of thought and exchange, where the memory of traditions and the interpretation of the present intertwine to generate new perspectives of mutual understanding and peace.
