Photographer’s Note
The Cathedral was probably erected in the 4th century CE over a Pagan temple. It was reconstructed around 1000 CE by Bishop Warmondus in Romanesque style: of that edifice the two bell towers, some columns and the elegant frescoed crypt remain. The latter houses an ancient Roman sarcophagus which, according to the tradition, preserved the relics of St. Bessus (co-patron of the city together with St. Sabinus). A substantially new edifice, in Baroque style, was built in 1785. The current neo-classical façade is from the 19th century. The main art piece of the interior is the Miraculous Resurrection of a Child (second half of 15th century), attributed to Nicolas Robert. The sacristy has two pales by Defendente Ferrari. The cathedral is also seat of the tomb of Blessed Thaddeus McCarthy.

Ciao Gianni. Un pizzico di fuoco in più non avrebbe guastato ma questi POV mi garbano troppo. Grande la luce che si insinua tra la complessa architettura. Valore aggiunto: l'inserimento della persona sul'estrama sinistra in basso.
