EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "BBA-F-001926-0000" showcases the magnificent Hekhal of the old synagogue in Livorno. The image beautifully captures the intricate details and grandeur of this sacred space. The Hekhal, a prominent feature within synagogues, is a cabinet that houses Torah scrolls and other religious artifacts. This particular Hekhal was created based on a plan by Isidoro Baratta from Carrara, known for his exceptional craftsmanship. Dating back to around 1690-1747, this masterpiece exemplifies Baratta's skillful artistry and attention to detail. The marble balustrade surrounding the Hekhal adds an elegant touch to its overall design. The photograph itself was taken between 1925-1935 approximately, providing us with a glimpse into the past when this architectural marvel still stood tall in Livorno's Old Synagogue. Within the frame of this image are various elements and furnishings that contribute to the ambiance of sacred spaces. A chandelier crafted from wrought metal illuminates the area while casting enchanting shadows across stained glass windows nearby. A single church candle stands as a symbol of devotion amidst these ornate surroundings. Its flickering flame creates an atmosphere of tranquility and reverence. Luigi Betti has masterfully captured every aspect of this extraordinary artwork through his lens. His talent allows viewers to appreciate not only Baratta's craftsmanship but also the historical significance held within Livorno's Old Synagogue. This print serves as both a testament to artistic excellence and a reminder of our rich cultural heritage. It invites us to explore centuries-old traditions preserved within these hallowed walls while appreciating their timeless beauty.
