EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite beauty of the Colombo Chapel, a remarkable architectural masterpiece located in Milan's Monumental Cemetery. Designed by engineer Michele Speranza during the late 19th century, this chapel stands as a testament to the artistic and craftsmanship skills prevalent in Europe during that era. The photograph, taken between 1875 and 1910, showcases the intricate details of Speranza's work. The chapel is adorned with various elements and furnishings for sacred spaces, including a cross that symbolizes faith and spirituality. The inscription on one of its walls serves as a written instrument of communication between past generations and those who visit today. The architecture itself is awe-inspiring, featuring columns, friezes, doors, and stairs that lead visitors into this Christian funerary structure. The combination of these building elements creates an atmosphere that evokes both solemnity and reverence. Nature also plays a significant role in enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal of the Colombo Chapel. Lush vegetation surrounds it, with palm trees adding an exotic touch to its surroundings. This vegetal element harmoniously blends with the primary elements found within cemeteries - tombstones representing lives lived and sculptures depicting eternal remembrance. Through this print captured by Brogi from Alinari - renowned photographers known for their ability to capture historical moments - viewers are transported back in time to experience firsthand the artistry present during Europe's first millennium up until early 20th century. This image serves as a reminder not only of our shared history but also highlights how human creativity can transcend time through enduring works like Michele Speranza's Colombo Chapel at Milan's Monumental Cemetery.
