Abstract

This text wants to be a tribute to the architect Glauco Gresleri that regards his relationship with Spain, a less known aspect of his career, directly linked to his religious production and its dissemination in the ARA magazine.
During his years in charge of Chiesa e Quartiere (CH.+Q.), Gresleri maintained contact with some Spanish architects and clerics; but the relationship was neither very extensive nor very intense. After the closing of the publication in 1968, the architect began to look for alternative places to spread his religious architecture, and found in Spain the perfect one: the young magazine ARA (Arte Religioso Actual), directed by the Dominican José Manuel de Aguilar. From that time dates his association with the architect Silvano Varnier.
Unexpectedly, Gresleri and Varnier became the studio with more presence in ARA during its twenty-seven years of life.
