EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-A-004683-0063" showcases a remarkable marble medallion depicting the esteemed scholar Giovanni Pietro D'Avenza, who passed away in 1457. The bas-relief, masterfully crafted by Giovanile di Matteo Civitali, forms an integral part of the exquisite embellishment adorning the facade of the Cathedral of Lucca. Dating back to around 1900, this photograph captures the essence and intricate details of Civitali's artwork. The artist himself, Matteo Civitali, created this extraordinary piece during the fifteenth century (XV sec. ), leaving behind a lasting legacy that continues to inspire awe and admiration. Located within Lucca's magnificent Cathedral of S. Martino, specifically in its portico area, this medallion represents more than just a mere artistic creation. It symbolizes knowledge and intellectual pursuits as it portrays D'Avenza—a renowned writer and scholar—immortalized for eternity. The image conveys a sense of reverence towards humanistic disciplines while emphasizing communication through writing. As we gaze upon this portrait-like representation captured by Brogi Edizioni from Alinari—an esteemed photography company—we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the profound impact individuals like D'Avenza had on society. Inscribed with historical significance and adorned with symbols associated with literature and learning—such as instruments used for writing—the marble medallion serves as a testament to both personal achievements and collective cultural heritage. Let us marvel at this exceptional work of art that transcends time; let us celebrate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to preserve history through visual storytelling.
