Art and Soldi’s history in Glew
The Iglesia de Santa Ana houses eleven frescoes by Raúl Soldi. He painted them during the summers from 1953 to 1976; their central theme is the life of Santa Ana. The church is designated a site of national historic interest. Their shared theme connects the frescoes in content, while the period in which they were created spans many summers.
The Fundación Soldi is also connected with Soldi’s history in Glew: he bought a house there, which is now home to the Fundación Santa Ana de Glew, today called Fundación Soldi. The municipality lists a beginner theater course for children aged 6 to 12 at the foundation: Thursdays from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. A pre-registration period is planned for March 2027; course offerings and times may change.
