EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing a momentous event in the history of architecture. The image showcases the breathtaking "Sanctuary of the Crucifix" under construction in Boca, Novara, a small town nestled within the enchanting landscapes of Europe. The intricate details and sheer scale of this architectural marvel are awe-inspiring. Every element seems meticulously planned and executed with utmost precision. From the imposing columns to the delicate building elements, every piece contributes to an overall sense of grandeur and magnificence. As our eyes wander across the frame, we notice scaffolding enveloping parts of this sacred structure like a protective cocoon. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and determination as skilled craftsmen work tirelessly amidst this temporary framework. The artist behind this masterpiece is Antonelli Alessandro, whose vision brought life to these stone walls between 1888-1907. His artistic prowess shines through each section captured by this unidentified author's lens in approximately 1910. A striking feature that catches our attention is a beautifully adorned tympanum at the entrance—a symbol steeped in Christian religious significance. Its intricately carved decoration adds an ethereal touch to an already divine sanctuary. Our gaze then follows a set of stairs leading up towards what promises to be an inner sanctum filled with serenity and solace for those seeking spiritual refuge. This remarkable print from Alinari not only captures a significant moment during its construction but also preserves a slice of history from nineteenth-century Europe—an era marked by unparalleled craftsmanship and dedication that has stood steadfast through centuries.
