EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the intricate relief of the main portal at the Cathedral of San Donnino in Fidenza. The artwork, created by Benedetto Antelami during the Romanesque period between 1190 and 1210, depicts an awe-inspiring scene - "The army of Emperor Maximilian and drain San Donnino". As one's gaze is drawn to this remarkable relief, it becomes evident that every detail has been meticulously carved by Antelami and his school. The soldiers stand tall with their swords gleaming in hand, adorned in armor that reflects the military life of ancient times. Their clothing showcases fashion from the Middle Ages, providing insight into how men dressed during this era. Intriguingly, amidst this display of power and might stands a saintly figure – perhaps symbolizing divine intervention or protection for those embarking on military endeavors. This juxtaposition between religion and politics hints at the complex relationship between church and state during these historical periods. Emperor Maximilian himself looms large within this artistic masterpiece as a prominent political figure who once ruled over vast territories. His presence signifies not only his own reign but also represents an empire that shaped European history. Through Clari's lens from Studio Fotografico Alinari in April 1956, we are transported back through time to witness firsthand both the craftsmanship of Benedetto Antelami's work and its significance within society. This photograph serves as a testament to human creativity across centuries while shedding light on ancient populations' rich history.
