EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Golden Testament to Faith: The Side of the Antependium in the Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio, Milan" The side of the antependium, or the frontal covering of the altar, in the historic Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio in Milan, Italy, is a testament to the grandeur and intricacy of Roman Catholic church architecture. This exquisite bas-relief, formed of sheets of gold, is depicted in this hand-colored copperplate engraving by Pietro Giarre from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World," published in Florence in 1844. The Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio, a significant landmark in Milan, is a masterpiece of Lombard-Romanesque architecture. The side of the antependium, with its intricate gold bas-relief, adds to the overall grandeur of the church's interior. The design, while not explicitly depicted in the engraving, is believed to include various religious symbols and motifs, reflecting the deep-rooted faith and devotion of the community. The hand-colored copperplate engraving by Pietro Giarre provides a detailed and accurate representation of the side of the antependium. The use of hand-coloring adds a layer of depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a valuable historical record and an intriguing piece of art. The engraving also serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion and design sensibilities of the 19th century. The Basilica di Sant'Ambrogio, with its golden antependium, continues to be a place of worship and pilgrimage for the faithful. This engraving serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural significance of this magnificent church and the enduring power of faith.
