EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of the portal on the façade of the Cathedral of San Valentino, located in Bitonto, Apulia. Steeped in history and architectural grandeur, this Romanesque masterpiece dates back to the 13th century, standing as a testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage. The intricate details showcased in this photograph are truly awe-inspiring. The craftsmanship is evident in every element - from the majestic eagle perched atop the archway to the delicate birds gracefully etched into its surface. Vertebrates and animals come alive through stone carvings, with an elephant and a lion commanding attention with their regal presence. Nature intertwines seamlessly with artistry as vegetal elements and compositions adorn this magnificent portal. Lush vegetation surrounds brier-romanesque motifs, creating a harmonious blend between man-made structures and natural beauty. It is through these artistic choices that we can appreciate how deeply intertwined humans were with their environment during medieval times. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork frozen in time by Alinari Fratelli's lens around 1920-1930, we are transported back to an era where faith and creativity converged effortlessly. This image serves as a visual reminder of our shared past while also igniting curiosity about those who came before us.
