EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magnificent facade of Superga Basilica, situated on the outskirts of Turin. The basilica, a remarkable example of Renaissance-Baroque architecture, stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear sky. Built between 1715 and 1731 by renowned architect Filippo Juvarra (also known as Juvara), this architectural masterpiece showcases intricate details and grandeur. The image highlights various elements such as balustrades, columns, domes, cupolas, windows, porticos, lanterns, drums and bell towers that adorn the structure. The Superga Basilica holds great religious significance for Christians in Turin. Its towering presence is enhanced by a clock tower that serves as both an instrument to measure time and a symbol of faith. Surrounding the basilica are lush vegetation and tall trees from the eighteenth century era - remnants of Europe's rich history. These natural elements add depth to the composition while reminding us of how time has shaped this landscape over centuries. Captured in 1956 by Alinari Fratelli – an esteemed photography company with a passion for documenting historical landmarks – this print preserves not only the beauty but also the cultural heritage embodied within Superga Basilica. As we gaze upon this photograph today, we are transported back through time to witness firsthand how artistry and devotion intertwine in architectural marvels like Superga Basilica. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity across different periods - from its construction during First Millennium A. D. , through Second Millennium A. D. , until it was immortalized through Alinari's lens more than four decades ago.
