EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history - the construction of the town of Alessandria during the reign of Pope Alexander III. Painted by Spinello or Spinelli, Aretino Luca, this fresco showcases the meticulous craftsmanship and religious devotion that went into building this remarkable city. Intriguingly, we see a diverse group of individuals working together to create Alessandria. Cardinals, builders, clergy members, and even monks are all present in this scene. They can be seen praying fervently for guidance and blessings as they lay down the foundations and erect sturdy walls. The attention to detail is astounding - from the metal spatulas used by masons to spread mortar to the pulleys and winches employed for heavy lifting. Every aspect of construction is meticulously depicted with precision. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how faith played an integral role in shaping cities during medieval times. The presence of priests bestowing their benediction upon each phase of construction highlights the deep connection between religion and architecture. This print not only serves as a visual representation of historical events but also reminds us of the power that collaboration between different religious orders can have on creating something truly magnificent. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and spiritual dedication that continues to inspire awe centuries later.
