EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Church of St. Ambrose at Milan, a Romanesque masterpiece located in northern Italy. The image, taken around the 1930s by an unknown creator, offers a timeless view of the Basilica of Sant Ambrogio. The church's rich history dates back to its initial construction by St. Ambrose himself between 379-386 AD. However, the current building we see today began taking shape around 1080. Its architectural beauty is highlighted by the prominent bell tower or campanile that stands tall beside it. Elizabeth O'Neill's book "The World's Story, a Simple History for Boys and Girls" features this remarkable photograph as part of its collection. The monochrome landscape captures not only the exterior grandeur but also reflects the solemnity and religious significance associated with this sacred place. As one gazes upon this print, they are transported to Lombardy's enchanting city of Milan where centuries-old Christianity thrives within these hallowed walls. The image evokes feelings of awe and reverence towards both faith and architecture. Preserved through time, this historical gem serves as a testament to human ingenuity and devotion spanning over eleven centuries. It reminds us that even amidst changing eras, religion remains an integral part of our lives – offering solace and inspiration to all who seek it.
