Chapel of N.S. of Caravaggio
Immersed in the tranquility of a hill, stands the tiny Chapel of Our Lady of Caravaggio, a jewel exposed to the panorama of the Gulf of Tigullio.
This enchanting sanctuary, with its gabled façade adorned with two pairs of lateral pilasters, exudes a solemn and majestic air, despite its modest size. At the center of the portal, a canvas painting protected by glass and a grid captures the attention of visitors, depicting “N.S. of Caravaggio and the Blessed Giovannetta”, a work that exudes devotion and mystery.
An Interior Rich in Frescoes and Spirituality
Upon entering the chapel, the gaze is immediately captured by three frescoes on the right wall. These works depict Holy Mary. Addolorata, S. Benedetto and S. Teresa, exuding a quiet and mystical serenity that envelops anyone who enters. In the apse basin, the painting of the “Ascension of the Madonna with Musician Angels” attracts attention, lifting the spirit towards the celestial spheres with its ethereal beauty.
The Sacred Intimacy of the Apse
In the apse itself, a painting depicts “N.S. of Caravaggio and Giovannetta”, transmitting a scene of sacred intimacy. This painting exudes a feeling of protection and maternal love, emotionally involving the faithful and visitors. On the left side of the chapel, three frescoes depict St. Melania, St. John the Baptist and the Annunciation, integrating harmoniously with the ancient walls of the chapel and enriching the spiritual atmosphere of the place.
The Vault and the Theological Virtues
On the vault of the chapel, roundels painted with the three theological virtues complete the picture, offering a message of hope and faith. These frescoes invite visitors to reflect and find comfort in the spirituality that permeates every corner of the sanctuary.
A Sanctuary of Peace and Contemplation
The Chapel of Our Lady of Caravaggio, located on that quiet hill, is much more than just a building. It is a sanctuary of spirituality and devotion, where time seems suspended and souls find refuge in prayer and contemplation. This enchanting place offers a unique experience of inner peace and spiritual connection, making it an unmissable destination for those seeking serenity and inspiration.
