Cappella di Santa Maria Maddalena al Calvario
The chapel of Santa Maria Maddalena al Calvario was built in 1696 and was subsequently radically transformed thanks to the imagination of the artist David Tremlett.
Description
The chapel of St. Mary Magdalene at Calvariolo is the smallest place of worship among the terraced meadows of Rossa. 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 RossArte Foundation, with the help of private individuals and associations, has also intervened by redoing the traditional stone roof. The artist has chosen a very intense red, interspersed with gray and black geometries to bring the chapel of St. Mary Magdalene back to life on Calvary.
