Abstract


The little chapel with the cross-shaped ground plan and the dome over the transept, which was finished in 1744, reached our day in very bad conditions both formal and practical. Its restoration was approached as a "change of meaning", the basic objective was to give it an attractive new appearance which could awake interest among its visitors immersed in a transitory "monumental anhedonia". The performance was also supposed to solve the conflicts of conceptual and symbolic character between a traditional scheme of a chapel reserved for the Santísimo and the new mentality which generated the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council.
