The Italian Chapel on Orkney by artist Domenico Chiocchetti and his fellow Italian POWs. "It was the wish to show to oneself first, and to the world then, that in spite of being trapped in a barbed wire camp, down in spirit, physically and morally deprived of many things, one could still find something inside that could still be set free…" Italian POW at Orkney, 1943. A good reminder for me that no matter how grim things may seem, one can always find hope. I'll post more pics of the interior later. Everything inside was handmade and hand painted. Beautiful and inspiring!Now we're off to see something much older…Ring of Brodgar!…#italianchapel #orkney #pow #wwii #travelscotland #scottishhistory #scapaflow #worldwartwo #historymade #lessonslearned
