The Churches That Travel
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and unusual print that captures a remarkable moment in history. The image, taken by Achille Beltrame in 1931, showcases an artistic chapel from the fifteenth century being transported through the streets of Pianezza, near Turin. In this intriguing scene, we see men working diligently to move the stone church using rollers and girders. Spectators line the streets, both men and women alike, watching with awe as this bizarre spectacle unfolds before their eyes. The sheer size and weight of the church make it a monumental task for these dedicated workers. The photograph not only highlights the physical effort involved in transporting such a massive structure but also reveals the ingenuity and determination of those involved. It is fascinating to witness how architecture can be moved from one location to another while preserving its integrity. This image offers us a glimpse into a bygone era when house moving was an extraordinary event that captured public attention. It serves as a testament to human skill and resourcefulness in overcoming challenges that seem insurmountable. Beltrame's composition beautifully captures both the eerie atmosphere surrounding this strange transportation endeavor and the architectural beauty of the church itself. This print is truly an exceptional piece of art that invites viewers to ponder on themes of religion, tradition, innovation, and community involvement all at once.
