EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of two Venetian candelabras and a crucifix, graciously donated by Charles II of Anjou. These precious artifacts now find their home in the Museum of the Basilica of San Nicola, nestled in the enchanting city of Bari, Puglia. The candelabras stand tall with intricate details that showcase the craftsmanship of Gothic art from the Middle Ages. Their slender arms gracefully curve upwards, holding delicate candle holders that once illuminated sacred spaces. The flickering flames would have cast a warm glow upon worshippers who sought solace within these hallowed walls. Beside them stands a crucifix, its presence commanding attention as it symbolizes sacrifice and redemption. This cross is an embodiment of faith and devotion, serving as a reminder to all who gaze upon it. Captured through Alinari's lens during the early 20th century, this photograph transports us back in time to witness these remarkable treasures firsthand. It allows us to appreciate not only their aesthetic appeal but also their historical significance. These objects are testament to Europe's rich cultural heritage spanning over centuries - relics from both the first and second millenniums AD. They serve as tangible links connecting us to our ancestors' beliefs and traditions. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, let us reflect on how artistry transcends generations; how objects crafted with love and dedication continue to inspire awe even after hundreds of years have passed. May these Venetian candelabras and crucifix forever be cherished for their timeless beauty within the walls of Bari's Basilica di San Nicola.
