EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the heart of Milan, Italy, where history and spirituality intertwine. The subject of this image is none other than Saint Ambrose Milan Church, a magnificent Romanesque structure that stands as a testament to Europe's rich architectural heritage. Dating back to the first and second millennium A. D. , this church holds centuries of stories within its walls. Its origins can be traced as far back as the fourth century when it was built in honor of Saint Ambrose, one of Milan's most revered saints. As we gaze upon this aerial view captured by photographer Folco Quilici in 1973, we are granted a unique perspective on the grandeur and majesty of this religious sanctuary. The bird's eye view allows us to appreciate the intricate details and symmetrical design that define Romanesque architecture. From above, we witness how every element harmoniously comes together: from the sturdy stone columns supporting graceful arches to the ornate carvings adorning its façade. As our eyes wander across this photograph, we cannot help but feel a sense of awe at both the physical beauty and historical significance encapsulated within these ancient walls. This image serves as a reminder not only of Milan's cultural legacy but also highlights Christianity's enduring presence throughout European history. Quilici masterfully captures not just an architectural marvel but also invites us into an immersive experience where time seems suspended. Through his lens, he has frozen a moment that transcends commercial use or any material purpose; instead, it offers us an opportunity for reflection on humanity's quest for spiritual connection through art and faith. In conclusion, Quilici’s photograph provides us with an extraordinary glimpse into Milan’s past—a visual treasure that bridges centuries while celebrating both artistic excellence and religious devotion.
