EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph takes us back in time to the 12th century, capturing the magnificent façade of the Cistercian Abbey of Morimondo. Located in the province of Bergamo, Italy, this Romanesque masterpiece stands as a testament to centuries past. The image showcases intricate details that highlight both architectural brilliance and artistic craftsmanship. The abbey's façade is adorned with various elements such as capitals, columns, pilaster strips, doors, bows, and even a prothyrum. Each element tells a story about medieval architecture and design. As we delve deeper into the print by Alinari Fratelli from 1938, our eyes are drawn towards an exquisite stained glass window that adds a touch of color amidst its surroundings. This delicate piece of applied arts and crafts brings life to the structure while depicting scenes from religious narratives. Surrounded by lush vegetation and towering trees, this sacred place exudes tranquility and spirituality. The presence of a cross atop one section signifies its significance as a house for worship during ancient times. The use of bricks in constructing this Romanesque marvel further emphasizes its historical importance within European architecture.
