EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of the apse side and bell-tower of the Abbey of Santa Maria in Vezzolano, located in Piemonte, Asti. The image transports us back to a bygone era, showcasing the remarkable architectural prowess of the Romanesque style that dominated Europe during the Middle Ages. The photograph, taken between 1915-1920, allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of this historical masterpiece. The abbey's apse side stands tall and proud, adorned with delicate decorations and sections that speak volumes about its rich heritage. Pilaster strips grace its walls while bows add an elegant touch to its overall design. As we gaze at this enchanting scene, our eyes are drawn towards nature's embrace surrounding this ancient structure. Lush vegetation flourishes nearby, providing a stark contrast against the solid stone walls. It serves as a reminder that even amidst human creations from centuries past, Mother Nature continues her eternal cycle. A single light window illuminates part of the abbey's interior through stained glass panels that have witnessed countless prayers and moments of reflection throughout history. This sacred space has stood witness to both joyous celebrations and solemn rituals for over a millennium since its construction around XI century AD. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captured this timeless moment in their artwork - preserving not only an architectural marvel but also a glimpse into European history spanning multiple millennia. As we admire this photograph print today, let it serve as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity across time - reminding us how art can transcend generations and connect us with our collective pasts without mentioning any commercial use or affiliation with any company.
