Linda Butler, Remains of a Chapel at Villa Cambiaso, near Genova, Liguria
Private chapels were often constructed as part of opulent villas. In this villa, sat in two small rooms in balconies above the altar and heard the mass through a wooden grate. After the villa was abandoned in the early nineteenth century, robbers stripped it of everything of value including the cross in the chapel, leaving this hand-hewn ladder behind.
