Lamb Holm, Orkney
Following on from the previous image of the Italian Church.
The artist and prisoner of war from Moena in Italy called Domenico Chiocchetti, made a statue of St. George slaying the dragon for the ‘square’ outside the church. It has a frame made of barbed wire and is covered with cement. The base of the statue contains all of the prisoners names and some Italian coins. The statue itself represents the prisoners triumph over defeat and loneliness during the years of captivity on Lamb Holm.
