CHAPEL OF SILENCE

The CHAPEL OF SILENCE stands at the threshold between the vast forest overlooking the Botticino Valley and a landscape cultivated with vineyards.

A secular space for worship, silence, and prayer, it is open to all.

A Botticino marble rainwater basin marks the entrance as a gesture of purification. From here, a compressed passage leads through a small aperture, offering a first, intimate glimpse of the forest.

The main hall then opens toward the landscape, framing the trees and a Botticino marble menhir—a silent sign of human presence within nature.

There is no fixed seating: leather cushions can be freely arranged, while a curtain allows each visitor to define their own degree of intimacy with the outside.

The chapel draws from the small spontaneous huts scattered throughout the valley, reinterpreting their forms to evoke familiar images and speak to the collective memory of those who inhabit this land.
