Our friends Stefano Ceccarini and Matteo Giunti have been the driving force behind the collection of signatures for the restoration of the “
Chiesa degli Olandesi” (Dutch Church) and many other initiatives. Here they were checking the interior of the church and I was tagging along, taking pictures.
The building is, if possible, in even worse shape than ever, with further collapsing and widespread decay.
All the stained glass windows are broken, but one of the smaller ones inside has still something to say.

Ready to get to work!
Wow! I can't imagine tackling a job like this. Bravo to Steffano and Matteo. Can't wait to see pictures when it's in a more "restored" state.
I hope you had a hard hat while inside, VP. Looks dangerous.
Bravo to you all for caring about this church.
Did it get some funds toward restoration? It was in first place for a while.
Good luck.
Bravo to Stefano e Matteo!
You know I would love to explore this decaying place. It's wonderful!
