The Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene on Calvary was built in 1696 and later radically altered by the imagination of artist David Tremlett.

Description

The Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene in Calvariolo is the smallest church in the middle of the terraced meadows of Rossa. On July 14, 2019, on the initiative of the RossArte Foundation, an artistic intervention was carried out on the exterior facades of three 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. A work by the Anglo-Swiss artist David Tremlett, characterized by the superimposition of shapes and colors on the built architecture. Two-dimensional drawings that, once applied to the walls, become real sculptures. The RossArte Foundation, with the help of private individuals and associations, has also intervened and renewed the traditional poplar covering. The artist chose a very intense red, interspersed with gray and black geometries, to give new life to the chapel of Santa Maria Maddalena al Calvario.
