EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-154570-0000" takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Ravenna. The subject of this postcard is none other than the Tomb of Dante Alighieri, a revered figure in Italian literature and the author of the epic poem "The Divine Comedy". Captured around 1935 by an unidentified author, this image showcases the remarkable craftsmanship and architectural beauty that defines Ravenna's historical landmarks. The photographer skillfully captures every intricate detail of this magnificent tomb, which was created by Camillo Morigia in 1780. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn to the dome-shaped structure with its elegant cupola. Every building element appears meticulously designed and executed with precision. The decoration and sections adorning the tomb exude a sense of grandeur and reverence. Notably featured is a striking tympanum displaying a type of coat-of-arms or heraldic ornament—a crest or emblem that adds an air of nobility to this funerary structure. It serves as a poignant reminder that within these walls lies one of Italy's most celebrated literary figures. This sepulchre stands as both a testament to Dante Alighieri's enduring legacy and an architectural marvel worth admiring for generations to come. Its Christian symbolism further enriches its significance, reminding us not only of Dante's profound impact but also his spiritual journey depicted through "The Divine Comedy". Let this mesmerizing print transport you back in time to experience firsthand the awe-inspiring beauty found within Ravenna's historic treasures.
