EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the enchanting city of Trani in Puglia, Italy. The focal point of the image is the magnificent faade of the Cathedral of Trani, a true testament to Romanesque architecture that dates back to the Middle Ages. As we gaze at this architectural marvel, our eyes are drawn towards the terrace opposite the faade, where ancient ruins of an atrium stand proudly. These remnants from centuries past serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that permeates every corner of this charming town. Intriguingly, nestled in the background is a house that adds a touch of everyday life amidst these grand structures. It serves as a gentle reminder that while cathedrals may inspire awe and reverence, it is within homes like these where people find solace and build their lives. The photograph itself was captured between 1920-1930 by Alinari Fratelli, showcasing their keen eye for detail and composition. Through their lens, they have immortalized not only an architectural masterpiece but also an entire era marked by religious devotion and artistic excellence. This artwork speaks volumes about Trani's significance as both a spiritual center and a historical treasure trove. Its intricate portal design with decorative elements such as arches, capitals, columns exemplify Romanesque craftsmanship at its finest. Alinari's photograph invites us on a journey through time - from its creation during medieval times (1159-1186) to its preservation almost eight centuries later. It captures not just physical structures but also emotions evoked by witnessing such breathtaking beauty firsthand – awe-inspiring sculptures meticulously carved into stone walls; faith embodied in every inch; stories waiting to be told. Truly an extraordinary piece capturing Europe's first millennium AD legacy!
