The addition of a weekday chapel at the side of St. Maria Goretti church led to a real extension of the main liturgical space. The chapel while being an autonomous unit and maintained architecturally distinct from original body, it results in continuity with the church.


The interior of the chapel is entirely visible from the nave through the continuous glass and its formal articulation could be perceived as an added aisle . The artistic stained glass is not only an iconic element that identifies the intervention, but develops a narrative role.
