Cappella del Barolo – colorful chapel among the vineyards This was once a simple chapel made of brick, now it is an eye-catcher painted with bright colors among the green vines. The colorful chapel is the creation of Sol LeWitt and David Tremlett, who transformed the brick walls into brightly colored works of art at the request of the Ceretto family in 1999. Historical interpretation: The idea actually came about by chance, when the British artist David Tremlett was in the area for an exhibition at Barolo Castle. He met the Ceretto family, who wanted to have the chapel renovated, and thought it was a challenge to transform a chapel into a work of art. He designed the interior of the chapel himself and asked Sol LeWitt, one of the artists with whom he was good friends, to design the exterior. The story goes that they received no money in compensation, but a bottle of Barolo every week, until their death. The chapel was officially inaugurated in 1914 as the Cappella di Santa Maria delle Grazie, but this name now rings a bell among few Piedmontese. Everyone knows the chapel as the Cappella del Barolo, but note: on Google Maps you will find the chapel as the Cappella delle Brunate. Even more chapel art in Piedmont What few people outside Piedmont know is that David Tremlett created another work of art in Piedmont in 2016 – in the village of Coazzolo, between Alba and Asti. Here he painted the walls of the Chiesetta della Beata Maria Vergine del Carmine. Tremlett was a great lover of Italy. He once said: 'Italy is the homeland of painting. I paint walls but am a sculptor. In Rome, I looked at Michelangelo's and Raphael's works in awe. To learn something new, you have to let it surprise you and know how to observe.'
