EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, depicting the intricate relief of the south tower at the Cathedral of San Donnino in Fidenza. The artwork, created by Benedetto Antelami and his school during the Romanesque period between 1190-1210, showcases their remarkable craftsmanship. The focus of this image is on a group of pilgrims along the famous Via Francigena, a historic pilgrimage route that stretches from Canterbury to Rome. Dressed in traditional attire, these male figures exude an air of solemnity as they embark on their spiritual journey. Their clothing reflects the fashion and style prevalent during the Middle Ages. Amongst them stands a majestic horse, symbolizing strength and endurance for travelling long distances. This terrestrial mammal adds an element of life to this otherwise static scene. As we delve deeper into this photograph's details, we are transported back to Europe during the first millennium A. D. , where religious devotion was intertwined with daily life. It serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted Catholicism was within society at that time. Captured by Clari from Studio Fotografico Alinari in April 1956, this print preserves not only Antelami's masterpiece but also offers us insight into European history. Its timeless quality allows us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance even today. Whether you are an art enthusiast or someone fascinated by medieval culture, this photograph provides a glimpse into a distant era when faith guided countless individuals along arduous paths towards enlightenment.
