EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-170850-0000" takes us back in time to the mid-20th century. The image showcases a meticulous plan for the settling and decoration of the crypt beneath San Petronio's Cathedral in Bologna. This hidden gem lies under the chapel of the ark, where an exquisite saint's bust and reliquary containing a skull are to be placed. The photograph captures not only architectural elements but also provides insight into the archeological significance of this site. It reveals various excavation sites within this complex structure, highlighting how painstakingly each detail was considered during its construction. One can observe intricate building elements such as pilasters and vaults that add depth and grandeur to this sacred space. The attention given to decoration is evident in every section depicted here, showcasing skilled craftsmanship from years gone by. San Petronio's Cathedral holds immense religious importance as it stands as a symbol of Christian faith in Bologna. In particular, it pays homage to St. Dominic, a revered figure within Christianity who played a significant role in shaping its history. The male bust featured prominently suggests that it represents St. Dominic himself—an embodiment of his teachings and influence on Christian religion throughout centuries past. This remarkable sculpture serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a testament to devotion—a work that transcends time itself. Authored by an unidentified artist from Alinari, this evocative print allows us to glimpse into history while marveling at the beauty found within these hallowed walls. It reminds us of our shared heritage and invites contemplation on spirituality through artistry—a treasure worth preserving for generations yet unborn.
