Storia e Guida del Sacro Monte di Varallo (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an insightful exploration of the Sacro Monte di Varallo, a pilgrimage site in the Valsesia region of northern Italy, renowned for its collection of 45 chapels housing life-sized, painted terracotta sculptures depicting scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary. The author traces the history of the site from its origins in the 15th century, through its development in the 16th and 17th centuries, to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003. The book's detailed account of the sculptures, their creators, and the techniques used in their production provides valuable insights into the artistic and cultural significance of the Sacro Monte. The author discusses the influence of artists such as Gaudenzio Ferrari, Giovanni d'Enrico, and Tanzio da Varallo, whose works exemplify the transition from the late Gothic to the early Baroque style. Beyond its historical and artistic analysis, the book also examines the spiritual and devotional aspects of the Sacro Monte. The author explores the role of the site as a place of pilgrimage, contemplation, and inspiration for both local communities and visitors from afar. The book's rich illustrations, including stunning photographs of the sculptures and architectural details, complement the engaging narrative, offering readers a captivating glimpse into this remarkable artistic and spiritual treasure. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
