The image takes us back to 1965, where we witness these young voices harmonizing against the backdrop of this historical masterpiece. The Cathedral itself is an architectural marvel that dates back to the XVI century. Its apse, exedra, tribune, and various building elements showcase intricate decorations and sections that are truly awe-inspiring. The window-filled nave leads our gaze towards a towering spire that reaches for the heavens above. As we delve into this artwork by Quilici Folco from Alinari, we are transported not only to a specific time but also across centuries.
