, 1/160 f/11.0, ISO 100, tripod. Pavia, Italy.

Basilica di S. Michele Maggiore a Pavia, ripresa da Sud-Ovest. La chiesa, ricostruita tra la fine dell'XI e il XII secolo, completata entro il 1155, è uno dei monumenti romanici più importanti della Lombardia e fu sede dell'incoronazione dei re d'Italia, da Berengario I (888 d.C.) a Federico Barbarossa (1155). Con la crescita di Milano rispetto alla vecchia capitale longobarda l'onore passò alla basilica di San'Ambrogio. Ha pianta a croce latina con transetto sporgente, cupola ottagonale all'incrocio nascosta esternamente dal tiburio ed appare rivestita in pietra arenaria di color ocra, come pure in arenaria è la decorazione scultorea. Bella ma fragile la pietra arenaria, tanto che negli ultimi decenni le sculture si stanno deteriorando rapidamente a causa degli agenti atmosferici e dell'inquinamento. La facciata occidentale, visibile in fotografia, ha un profilo a capanna a due soli spioventi ed è "a vento", eccede cioè la colma delle tre navate. I contrafforti e i pilastri a fascio addossati alla superficie scandiscono la facciata in tre campi che annunciano la suddivisione interna in tre navate. Molto bello l'equilibrio di pieni e vuoti, con i campi laterali aperti ciascuno da un portale e una bifora, quello centrale da un portale più alto dei laterali sormontato da un triplo registro in cui si susseguono salendo tre bifore, tre monofore e un'apertura a croce compresa tra due oculi. La facciata culmina in bellissima loggetta di arcatelle su 21 colonnine che segue la linea degli spioventi. Ricchissimo il repertorio di bassorilievi, come detto assai deteriorati. #chiese #architettura #romanico #lombardia

Romanesque enchantment of Pavese
one of the most interesting facades of the Romanesque period, too bad for the choice of sandstone, which over time has suffered obvious erosion
emprico, always impeccable!

Thank you Simone.
I have in my house a book by Gino Chierici, published in 1942, with a complete photographic documentation in bn of the sculptures si S. Michele: it is impressive the progression of deterioration from '42 to today, a process that had already begun then but that still left readable some images that today are not or almost.
