EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-157584-0000" transports us back in time to the early 20th century. The image showcases the magnificent façade of the Church of S. Maria di Castello in Tarquinia, Italy. Dating back to the 12th century (1121-1208), this architectural masterpiece stands tall with its intricate building elements and decorative sections. The portal immediately catches our attention, adorned with a stunning frieze and pilaster strip that exude an air of grandeur. The photograph captures a bustling street scene surrounding the church, giving us a glimpse into daily life during that era. A tourist can be seen admiring the structure's beauty while soaking in the picturesque view of the countryside. The two-light window on one side adds a touch of elegance to this religious sanctuary, while stairs lead up to an enchanting tower that seems to reach for the heavens above. The walls reveal traces of their military and defensive past, reminding us of bygone eras when churches served as fortresses. A bell tower proudly stands alongside this Christian place of worship, symbolizing its importance within the community. This church has witnessed countless prayers, ceremonies, and moments of spiritual significance throughout history. Although captured over a century ago (around 1910), this timeless photograph continues to captivate viewers today with its historical charm and architectural splendor. It serves as both a visual testament to human craftsmanship and an invitation for us all to appreciate artistry from generations past. This remarkable work remains attributed to an unidentified author from Alinari—a reminder that sometimes it is not just about who created something but rather how it touches our souls across time and space.
