EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the majestic bell tower of the Collegiate Church of Sant'Orso in Aosta, Valle d'Aosta. Standing tall and proud, this architectural masterpiece takes us back to the Middle Ages, reminding us of Europe's rich history during the first and second millenniums. The photograph was captured between 1915-1920, allowing us a glimpse into a bygone era. The artwork itself dates back even further, originating from 994-1026 during the fifteenth century. It is truly remarkable how this structure has stood the test of time, preserving its beauty for centuries. Every element in this image tells a story - from the intricate building elements and decorative sections to its unique spire that reaches towards the sky. The house-like structure atop serves as both shelter and symbolizes religious devotion. A striking feature on this bell tower is its prominent clock instrument that measures time with precision. Its presence reminds us of how important timekeeping was even during medieval times when sundials were commonly used for time measurement. Surrounded by lush vegetation and towering trees, this bell tower stands as an oasis amidst nature's embrace. The juxtaposition between man-made architecture and natural beauty creates a harmonious blend that captivates our senses. This Alinari photograph not only captures an extraordinary piece of European history but also highlights humanity's ability to create enduring structures that transcend generations. As we gaze upon it, we are transported through time - connecting with those who lived centuries ago while appreciating their craftsmanship and dedication to leaving behind lasting legacies for future generations to admire.
