(1909/c. 1981) and Mario Muratori
“The dosage
of the openings is in function of the internal environment so to introduce
enough grazing light from above creating an effective vibrating chiaroscuro on
the ceiling beams. The same light is instead filtered downwards through the
inner walls completely perforated in order to have a particular formal
expressiveness not detached from the secondary, but not negligible, task to
adjust the acoustics. (...) Among the churches of this time, built without too
much abundance of means and without undue pretensions of grandeur, this seems
one of the most remarkable and significant, for an obvious architectural and
spiritual unity that distinguishes it” (Carlo Ceschi)
