EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a partial view of the magnificent façade of the abbey of Loreto in Mercogliano, located in the province of Avellino, Italy. The abbey, dating back to the eighteenth century, showcases a harmonious blend of Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The image transports us to an era where craftsmanship and architectural grandeur reigned supreme. Every intricate detail comes alive as we admire the wrought metal elements that adorn this architectural masterpiece. The artist behind this remarkable artwork is none other than Domenico Antonio Vaccaro. As our eyes wander across the frame, we are drawn to various building elements that make up this stunning structure - from arches and windows to delicate plasterwork. Each element adds depth and character to the overall composition. The photograph was taken in 1960 by Alinari, Fratelli – renowned for their exceptional documentation of historical artworks. It serves as a timeless reminder of Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over two millennia. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also pays homage to applied arts and crafts. It highlights how architecture can be both functional and aesthetically pleasing with its exquisite decoration and sections. Gazing at this print evokes a sense of wonderment as we imagine ourselves standing before this awe-inspiring façade. We envision strolling along its balcony while admiring the gate fence that guards such beauty within. In summary, Alinari's photograph encapsulates the essence of Mercogliano Abbey – an architectural gem embodying European history through its Renaissance-Baroque style. Its ageless charm continues to captivate viewers today just as it did when Vaccaro first brought it into existence between 1735-1750.
