IN AN AROMATIC PINE FORESTS
This tiny architectural jewel set amongst aromatic pine forests, with the only sound being that of the cicada, dates back to the early Romanesque era and provides a true invitation to prayer. Of very basic form, decorative effects being concentrated in the arches and Lombard pilaster strips of the apse, and limited relief of a symbolic nature, with an alternating colour scheme (in black and white). A studied asymmetry enhances this small building and is paradoxically a further measure of its perfection. A place which provides a reminder of the beauty of creation.
