EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of the façade of the Cathedral of San Valentino in Bitonto, Apulia. The Romanesque architecture and medieval charm are evident in every element showcased here. Taken between 1920-1930, this photograph allows us to appreciate a piece of history from the XIII century. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the mesmerizing rose window that adorns the front of the cathedral. Its delicate design and meticulous craftsmanship draw our attention, reminding us of the skilled artisans who dedicated their talents to create such awe-inspiring works centuries ago. As we explore further, we notice various building elements meticulously placed together to form an architectural masterpiece. Columns and arches stand tall, supporting each other with grace and strength. Every bow and low relief tells a story, reflecting both artistic expression and religious symbolism. Sculptures depicting figures from Romanesque times adorn sections of this magnificent structure. These statues transport us back to a different era when art was used as a means to communicate stories and beliefs. Two light windows illuminate this grand façade, casting ethereal rays inside while showcasing its splendor for all passersby to admire. It serves as a reminder that even after first millennium A.
