Name of new chapel
- Thread starter DDLLB
- Start date
I am not allowed to use "Capella" as a competitor is currently using. I do like chiesa.
Laghetto is interesting. Any word introducing shimmering? Capella Degli'sposi sul lago might be a bit long winded for americans with little or no knwledge of foreign languages. However I like it sounds romantic. Any romantic names from literature? thank you all for your imput!!

Well, cappella means little church, no big deal, I mean I don't think you can have rights on such a common noun.
Anyway, if you don't want to use it, I'd go for chiesetta
"Chiesetta del laghetto"
or
"Chiesetta dei promessi sposi"
or
"Chiesetta degli sposi"
or
"Chiesetta splendente"
or
I LIKE THIS ONE, very inspirational

"Chiesetta della Luce"
I do know if my replies are coming thru as I do not see them all on screen.
For the record, I have been reviewing suggestions over the weekend and they are all exciting. As this will be on our stationary, as logo, and we will be answering the phone with with name. I believe it should be somewhat simple as
in "Chiesa della Luce" it rolls nicely or "Bella Chiesa" (boring). When we choose the final name I will then reveal the location to you all. We are getting close, any other romantic ideas are appreciated. Thank you,

Well, after what you said I was thinking... if you're going to call it "Chiesa del Raggio di Luce", when you answer the phone you can just say "Raggio di Luce speaking..." or something like that.
Raggio di Luce = Ray of Light
Anyway, to be honest, I guess I could be more inspired if I could see some pictures of the place... in the nature... who knows...

Silvia,
Cannot disclose photos at this time. We have to keep under wraps however, it is fashioned after city of Florence and the PonteVecchio bridge over lake instead of river. Old tuscan flavor with 14th century influences. Stone and dark woods,
chandeliers, sconces etc more like a Palazzo. Good idea about abbreviation of name on phone. Ray of light is nice. Embrace? is that a good word to use?
As in "embrace the light" A thought...

My Mother and I do this with Real Estate companies around here, they will pay $20 for Italian Names... The sad part is that they literally makes things up.
"La Casa Florencia"...I tried to explain to the designer for 10 minutes that he had written that in Spanish, and he insisted it was italian. Often times they will make up works with random accents. That is a big thing here, if you want to make it looks European you add an accent in a place it does not belong, at least in the Residential Capitol of the World.

It is imperative that all expressions are grammerically correct, otherwise I would be looking these up in the dictionary - TACKY - European expressions are different from American, that is why I have contacted your forum, for your expertise. What makes this a challenge, is creating an expression that verbalizes with a soft, romantic "LILT" meaning; rolls off your tongue nicely, as well as read easily on paper. Grammerically correct and authentic in Italian is a priority. I have quite a few books of the Florence/ Lazio area as we spent a month there exploring churches. I am liking " chiesa della luce" "raggio di luce".
so far. Thank you again, Robin
