EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the enchanting Milan's Monumental Cemetery, where the Daelli Tomb stands as a testament to the artistic brilliance of sculptor Peliti. The photograph, taken between 1875-1910, captures this magnificent work of art that was created around 1885-1910. The tomb itself is an exquisite fusion of architectural elements and intricate decorations from the 19th century. As we gaze upon it, our eyes are drawn to the cross at its center, symbolizing faith and spirituality. Surrounding it are various furnishings for sacred spaces, including a frieze adorned with delicate pilaster strips and an ornate door leading into what appears to be a tabernacle. Ascending stairs lead us towards a majestic arch crowned by a spire, evoking a sense of grandeur and solemnity. Lush vegetation intertwines with the structure, adding an element of natural beauty amidst this funerary setting. Atop this remarkable monument rests a stunning sculpture depicting figures in mourning attire - perhaps representing grieving loved ones paying homage to those laid to rest here. A bust emerges from within the tomb itself, reminding us of the individual lives commemorated within these hallowed grounds. The craftsmanship displayed in this artwork is truly awe-inspiring; every detail meticulously carved by Peliti's skilled hands. This print allows us to appreciate not only his talent but also provides insight into European arts and handicrafts during that era. Preserved through time by Brogi's lens from Alinari collection (not for commercial use), this image invites contemplation on life's transience while celebrating human creativity that endures beyond centuries – forever etched in stone at Milan's Monumental Cemetery Chapel.
