EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us to the parish church of the Assunta in Bagnoli Irpino, a small town nestled in the province of Avellino, Italy. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the exquisite wooden choir stalls that grace the interior of this sacred space. Dating back to the 17th century, these intricately carved masterpieces showcase a harmonious blend of Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles. Crafted by skilled artisans such as Infante, Scipione, Bonavita, Jacopo, Vecchia, and Giovanni Domenico, these choir stalls represent not only exceptional cabinet work but also serve as objects of applied arts and crafts. The attention to detail evident in every curve and flourish is truly awe-inspiring. Each stall tells its own story through delicate motifs depicting religious scenes from Europe's rich history. As we gaze upon this photograph captured by Alinari Fratelli in 1960, we are transported back through time to an era where craftsmanship reigned supreme. These wooden choir stalls have witnessed centuries worth of prayers sung by devoted congregations. They have stood witness to countless weddings and funerals; they have provided solace during times of sorrow and joyous celebration alike. As we admire this remarkable artwork through Alinari's lens today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance. These choir stalls stand as a testament to human creativity and devotion throughout the first and second millenniums A. D. , reminding us that art has always been an integral part of our cultural heritage.
