EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Sanctuary of Santa Caterina del Sasso in Leggiuno, nestled on the picturesque shores of Lago Maggiore. The sanctuary, a true testament to Romanesque architecture from the Middle Ages, stands proudly against the backdrop of Europe's rich history. Taken around 1890, this photograph captures the essence of this ancient structure that dates back to approximately 1230. Its arches, building elements, and intricate decorations showcase the mastery of craftsmanship prevalent during that era. The columned friezes and majestic roof create an awe-inspiring sight for all who visit. The bell tower rises majestically into the sky as a symbol of Christian devotion and religious significance. This sacred structure is built upon a rocky foundation, blending seamlessly with its geomorphological surroundings. The natural elements and phenomena surrounding it add to its ethereal beauty. As we gaze at this image, our eyes are drawn towards the breathtaking landscape surrounding Lago Maggiore. The lush vegetation and serene waters provide a tranquil atmosphere conducive to spiritual contemplation. A single light window illuminates the interior space with divine radiance while serving as a reminder of centuries past when faith was intertwined with daily life in Europe during both millennia. This remarkable artwork by Brogi showcases not just architectural brilliance but also serves as a visual testimony to human ingenuity throughout history. It invites us to appreciate how structures like these have stood strong through generations, preserving their cultural heritage for future generations to admire.
