EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Campania Salerno Teggiano S. Maria Maggiore Cathedral, a true testament to Italy's rich visual history. Despite being rebuilt after an earthquake in 1857, this remarkable church has managed to retain elements of its original construction from 1274, along with later additions. The two portals, dating back to 1279 and 1509 respectively, add a touch of historical grandeur. Stepping inside, one is immediately drawn to the architectural sculptures and a striking polychrome crucifix that commands attention. The marble ambo adorned with symbols of the Evangelists dates back to 1721 and adds an air of reverence. A holy water font from the 14th century stands as a reminder of centuries past. Wooden statues depicting angels grace the choirstalls from the 15th century while tomb monuments dedicated to Enrico Sanseverino (1336), Malavolti (1479), and Eustachio de Eustachiis (1472) pay homage to notable figures in history. Intricate tomb slabs and capitals further enhance the cathedral's aesthetic appeal. The white barrel-vaulted ceiling adorned with frescoes and stucco decoration creates an ethereal atmosphere within these sacred walls. Noteworthy pieces include a view of a stunning altarpiece from the 16th century and a painting in the sacristy depicting St. Michael or St. George triumphing over a fearsome dragon. Antiquities such as immured spolia can be found throughout, adding layers of historical significance at every turn. Lastly, we catch sight of the base of another holy water font that exudes antiquity. This photograph was taken in 1982 by Liszt Collection - not for commercial use but rather as part of their extensive collection capturing Italy's cultural heritage through visual storytelling.
