EDITORS COMMENTS
The grandiose tribune above the main altar of the church of S. Petronio in Bologna is a breathtaking masterpiece that seamlessly blends various architectural styles and periods. This awe-inspiring work, created by Vignola and adapted for the new dome by Gian Giacomo Monti, showcases the harmonious fusion of High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque, and Renaissance styles. Captured in this vintage photograph taken between 1920-1930, we witness the magnificence of this sacred space that has stood tall since its creation in 1547-1548. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every element present within this image. The towering baldachin gracefully hovers over the main altar, exuding an air of reverence and splendor. The intricately designed balustrade adds a touch of elegance while providing support to those ascending or descending the grand staircase leading up to the tribune. As our eyes wander upwards towards the heavens, we are captivated by the exquisite dome adorned with pilasters and statues that seem to come alive against its backdrop. The lantern atop illuminates this divine setting with ethereal light. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning across centuries. It reminds us of how artistry transcends time and continues to inspire generations. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captured this remarkable artwork through their lens, allowing us today to appreciate its beauty from afar. Let us be transported back in time as we marvel at this extraordinary piece that stands as a testament to human creativity and devotion.
