Chapel

Small Chapel at Exilles (870m, Susa Valley)


Le chiese

Amo veder le chiese
nelle piazze e nelle vie delle città,
amo vedere le dolci chiesette
nei villaggi di campagna,
nei paesini sperduti di montagna,
amo veder le austere cattedrali,
le basiliche imponenti.
Il mondo senza chiese
sarebbe un mondo squallido e angosciante:
un mondo senza Dio, sconcertante.

Oh, what a lovely, little chapel and it does look as though it's been around for some time! Wonderful capture, as always, Pietro! Hope your weekend is going well! Have a wonderful day!

Hello Pietro, this little chapel looks like it has been around for a "few" years. It must have seen some changes, heard some happy and some sad whispers. It is a very beautiful picture and the poetry is nice too so my Italian is not as good as it should be. Thank you so much for your kind comments always lovely to hear from you. T.

Ah! Love the poem!
My Italian is not good but I understood the meaning of the poem.
I have a translation tool named Babylon and it is very useful.

Bella capella direi romantica. Mi piacciono queste chiesette vecchie come anche il tuo pensiero.
Baci e buona giornata

So much rustic beauty tucked away--what a story it could tell! Nicely done, my friend.

An amazing image as always, Pietro!

Una piccola cappella tra il verde, tanto fascino e mistero.

Un abbraccio Pietro e buon inizio settimana!

The humble simplicity of its building adds to the church's richness.
