More than a building, it is a porphyry fortress reaching toward the infinite. Walk along the suspended walkway and let yourself be captivated by a breathtaking view that offers an entirely new reading of the landscape. Inside, the space for meditation merges with the art of Enzo Cucchi. A long painted cypress guides you towards the heart of the church, where 22 panels translate ancient litanies into visual poetry. The journey culminates in the apse: an intense blue where two hands in a gesture of offering welcome you in an embrace of peace.
