EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting façade of the Cathedral of San Michele in Bitetto. With its Romanesque architecture dating back to the 11th and 14th centuries, this magnificent church stands as a testament to Europe's rich history during the Middle Ages. The photograph, taken by Pietro Ronchetti in 1961, beautifully captures every intricate detail of this architectural masterpiece. The façade is adorned with an array of stunning elements and decorations that showcase the skilled craftsmanship of the era. At its center, a grand rose window takes prominence, casting ethereal light into the interior space. The bow-shaped entrance portal beckons visitors inside while intricately carved sculptures adorn every corner. Above it all stands a majestic bell tower that reaches towards the heavens. The photograph also highlights other notable features such as a tympanum depicting religious scenes and a lunette showcasing further sculptural artistry. Two light windows add symmetry to this awe-inspiring structure, inviting natural light into its sacred halls. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of its architectural significance but also of its profound spiritual importance. This church has served as a place for Christian worship for over a millennium – witnessing countless prayers and moments of devotion throughout history. Ronchetti's masterful composition allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty and historical value encapsulated within these stone walls. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our modern world, there are still glimpses of ancient wonders waiting to be discovered - testaments to human creativity and faith that have stood strong through centuries past.
