TURN AN UNFINISHED TEMPLE INTO AN OPEN-AIR THEATRE

In the green countryside of Ponzano di Fermo, you can admire the incomplete temple of Madonna delle Cataste.
This peculiar building began construction in 1921 by a farmer after who claimed to have had an apparition of the Virgin Mary on a pile of wood that was located where the temple now stands. After the death of its creator, in the 1950s, the temple remained incomplete and fell into abandonment.

Participants of this competition are asked to Reuse the Temple as an Open-air Theatre that can accommodate people for theatre performances, concerts, and general events.
