EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent façade of the church of Saints Niccolò and Cataldo in Lecce, Apulia. Designed by the talented architect Giuseppe Cino, this architectural masterpiece is a true testament to the Baroque and Renaissance-Baroque styles that flourished in Europe during the first and second millenniums. The image, captured between 1920-1930, transports us back to a time when this grand structure stood tall against the backdrop of Lecce's skyline. The intricate details on display are truly awe-inspiring; every element meticulously crafted to create an enchanting visual experience. As we gaze upon this photograph, our eyes are drawn to various building elements that adorn the façade. A stunning rose window takes center stage, its delicate tracery forming an exquisite pattern that allows light to filter through into the sacred space within. The architrave above it boasts ornate carvings depicting scenes from religious lore, while capitals atop columns add a touch of elegance. Pilaster strips with low relief work flank either side of the entrance portal, leading our attention towards a remarkable sculpture or statue - unfortunately not specified - which adds depth and character to this already impressive composition. Alinari's expert photography captures not only these architectural features but also conveys a sense of reverence for this historical treasure. Through their lens, we can appreciate both the artistic mastery behind Giuseppe Cino's design as well as Alinari's own skill in capturing such beauty on film. This print serves as a timeless reminder of Italy's rich cultural heritage and invites us to marvel at its enduring beauty for generations to come.
