EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the crypt of the Church of San Michele in Oleggio, Novara. The image, captured by Alinari, Fratelli in 1959, showcases the remarkable architecture and intricate details that define this sacred space. Dating back to the Early Middle Ages, this crypt is a testament to Europe's rich history and cultural heritage. It stands as a silent witness to centuries of religious devotion and artistic craftsmanship. Every element within its walls tells a story of faith and human ingenuity. The photograph allows us to marvel at the arches, building elements, decorations, sections, columns, vaults, sculptures - all meticulously crafted during the first and second millennium A. D. Each detail speaks volumes about the skillful hands that shaped them. A single light window casts an ethereal glow upon this ancient sanctuary. Its soft illumination adds an air of mystery and reverence to an already awe-inspiring scene. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari's collection with wonderment, we can't help but feel transported into another era. The Church of San Michele Crypt serves as a reminder of our collective past – a link between generations long gone and those yet unborn. It invites contemplation on life's transience while celebrating humanity's enduring quest for spiritual connection. Let us cherish these glimpses into history captured through artistry like Alinari's lens – they are windows into worlds forgotten yet forever preserved within their frames.
