Basilica of the Holy Trinity 

Giuseppe Barberis’ Basilica of the Holy Trinity presents a symphony of symbols echoing through the corridors of time. Observe the facade: the triangular pediment, the columns, and the symmetrical arrangement of the doors. These are not merely architectural elements; they are potent symbols of classical antiquity, revived during the Renaissance to evoke order, reason, and divine harmony. The triangular pediment, a motif inherited from ancient Greek temples, speaks of stability and perfection. It reappears in countless guises throughout history. In early Christian art, the triangle represents the Holy Trinity. This symbol has a history of morphing across time and different contexts, revealing how cultural memory operates. The Basilica, with its classical echoes, is a testament to our enduring fascination with the past. This creates a powerful force that engages the viewer on a deep, subconscious level. It emphasizes the cyclical progression of the symbols, reminding us that history is not linear but a continuous return and reinterpretation.
