Il Duomo, la cattedrale di Sovana Il Duomo di Sovana sorge appena alla fine del paese. L'epoca della diocesi di Sovana è incerta: quasi sicuramente è precedente al Vescovo Maurizio, il primo citato in un documento del 680. La cattedrale, ora Concattedrale dell'attuale diocesidi Sovana, Pitigliano e Orbetello, è costruita su un leggero lievo. La cripta del Duomo di Sovana Sottostante al Duomo, nell'area del presbiteo, vi è la cripta in pietra tufacea, tuttora ancora esistente e visitabile, con ingresso esterno ed interno. La costruzione della Cattedrale avvenne probabilmente come trasformazione e accrescimento di una chiesa già presente e durò secoli, infatti possiamo notari più stili: longobardo, romanico e gotico. La diffusa presenza dello stile romanico, conferma il periodo centrale della costruzione nell' XI secolo, durante l'espansione degli Aldobrandeschi e del Papato di Gregorio VII (1073-1085). Interno del Duomo di Sovana La chiesa è caratterizzata da pilastri a fiasco con capitelli che dividono la chiesa in tre navate. Le volte a crociera di quella centrale confermano la costruzione nel pieno Duecento. La cupola, con il suo passaggio in ottagono è simbolo della spiritualizzazione della materia verso il sentiero che conduce al Divino. Le decorazioni riproducono forme vegetali o animali, rari volti umani o soggetti biblici. Quasi completamente costruito in tufo, ad eccezione delle pietre alternate bianche e nere usate per i pilastri delle navate. Possiamo notare anche l'uso di manufatti di epoche precedenti, provenienti da altre chiese di Sovana, come alcuni capitelli di ispirazione paleocristiana.

On the photo it has already been said so much, quite acceptable, but still questionable.
The caption is perfect, comprehensive to date, history, styles.
Congratulations, much good work yours!

PDR, colors, lights and colors very real and not contrived. Indovinatissima the image depth that does justice to the complex, some doubts on slightly divergent lines in the upper nave but with the '8/16 maybe you could not chedere more even in PP
enry
