Cappella di San Carlo al Sabbione (oua_600845668_image)

The Chapel of San Carlo al Sabbione, built in 1686, is located near the historic center. In 2019 it is tinged with color thanks to the artist David Tremlett.

Description

The Chapel of San Carlo al Sabbione is part of that sacred architecture unjustly defined as minor, born from the faith and will of the people. On July 14, 2019, on the initiative of the RossArte Foundation, an artistic intervention was made on the external facades of 3 religious buildings: the chapel of San Carlo al Sabbione, the chapel of Our Lady of the Blood and the Rosary and the chapel of Santa Maria Maddalena al Calvario. An operation created by the Anglo-Swiss artist David Tremlett, characterized by the superimposition of shapes and colors on built architectures. Two-dimensional drawings that, once on the walls, become real sculptures. The artist applies pastel-colored horizontal bands to this sacred building, surmounted by a vermilion motif that serves as a base for vertical bands that reach up to the roof.
