EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the portal of the ancient Maniace Abbey, also known as "Castle" located in Maletto. The abbey's door, built in Norman style during the Middle Ages, stands as a testament to Europe's rich architectural heritage from the first and second millenniums A. D. The image was taken around 1890 by Brogi, showcasing his mastery in capturing intricate details and textures. The photograph allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship of this wooden artwork that has withstood centuries of history. The portal itself is a work of art, adorned with decorative elements such as arches, columns, capitals, and carved reliefs depicting scenes from medieval life. Its imposing presence against a backdrop of rugged rocks highlights both its architectural significance and its integration with natural elements. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to experience the magnificence of medieval Europe. We can almost imagine knights passing through these doors or monks seeking solace within these sacred walls. This photograph not only serves as a visual record but also evokes a sense of awe for those who appreciate historical architecture. It reminds us that even though centuries have passed since its creation in the 11th century (XI sec. ), this masterpiece continues to inspire admiration for human ingenuity and creativity. Whether displayed on museum walls or cherished in private collections, this print invites viewers to immerse themselves in an era long gone yet forever preserved through artistry and photography.
