Front quarter profile of the Italian Chapel on the small isle called Lamb Holm. This is located on the edge of Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands (north of Great Britain). The chapel was built by WWII Italian prisoners of war captured in North Africa and put to work on the Churchill Barriers in the Orkney Islands. Using the limited materials they had leftover from the barrier project, the prisoners converted two nissin huts into this chapel. Much of the artistic work was done by Domenico Chiocchetti who returned to finish his work after the war ended.
