EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Church of Villa, also known as the church of Corpo di Cristo, located in the enchanting town of Castiglione Olona. Commissioned by Cardinal Branda, this architectural masterpiece draws inspiration from the renowned style of Brunelleschi. The image transports us back to a time between 1920-1930 when it was captured by Brogi. However, its subject matter dates back even further to 1430-1440 when it was originally constructed. The artist behind this remarkable creation is none other than Filippo Brunelleschi himself, a name synonymous with Renaissance brilliance. As we delve into the details within this photograph, we are struck by the harmonious blend of Renaissance and Baroque styles that define every inch of this sacred structure. Its grandeur stands tall against the backdrop of Europe's rich history spanning over two millennia. Intriguingly enough, amidst these architectural marvels lies a figure dressed in religious attire - a saintly presence personified through his clothing and staff. This male figure holds a cane or staff symbolizing his spiritual authority and devotion to Christian religion. The Church's significance is further emphasized by its association with St. Anthony Abbot - an esteemed patron saint whose influence permeates throughout European culture during both Renaissance and Baroque periods. Alinari has masterfully captured not just an image but also an essence; one that encapsulates faith, artistry, and historical legacy all at once. This print serves as a testament to human creativity across centuries while inviting us to immerse ourselves in the profound beauty that lies within Castiglione Olona's Church of Villa.
