Valfabbrica is an ancient village of medieval origin located between Assisi and Gubbio, in Umbria, a central region of Italy. Just outside the historic centre, the expansion of the cemetery planned by the client was the opportunity to create an artefact capable of being visible from the new high-traffic road, which runs not far away along the countryside, and to equip it with a sacred chapel capable of activating a strong physical and visual relationship with the landscape of the Umbrian countryside.
