The first segment of the "Credo" series, using the Monreale mosaics, is now available on You Tube. It shows the 7 Days of Creation. I think it extraordinary. The theological and artistic commentaries are in Italian. But, if your Italian is rudimentary, you can still enjoy the mosaics, the gesticulating hands of the Camaldolese monk, and the melodic language of Dante.
