Descri­zio­ne del progetto

This cha­pel is a sim­ple struc­tu­re, built with lar­ge Vicen­za sto­ne ashlars car­ved and joi­ned so that they com­po­se an elon­ga­ted and par­tial­ly cove­red tra­pe­zoid. Ope­ning at one of the ends, right by a tree, marks the entran­ce to the spa­ce. A led­ge on the insi­de of the walls offers the visi­tors a pla­ce to sit. The two roof slabs are pla­ced one meter from the rear Wall to let the sun­light pass throu­gh. On this wall, behind the sto­ne that can func­tion as an altar, a hori­zon­tal line cuts the ver­ti­cal joint of the sto­nes, car­ving out a cross on the wall.
