Aosta (Aosta Valley). Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta and San Giovanni Battista (4th century), and more. Certainly there would still be a lot to see in Aosta, but when on a journey you have to deal with time, you widen at the beginning, then you run and something is not seen enough or not at all. Thus the millennial history of the Cathedral is summed up in the beautiful Renaissance portal. The church was completely rebuilt in the 11th century and since then it has undergone several interventions that have changed its style, from Romanesque to Gothic. The "current" polychrome facade, rich in frescoes and terracotta sculptures, dates back to 1522 and was enclosed in the nineteenth century within a second facade in neoclassical style. The interior is characterized by the large wooden crucifix, the polychrome windows, the crypt and the works of art in the presbytery. Quick visit, but also essential to the Forensic Cryptoporticus (25 BC), a Roman monument around the sacred area of the Augusta Praetoria forum (Unesco heritage). It is a gallery with two aisles, rectangular and open on the south side, probably an ambulatory to reach the temples above. Finally, two shots of a contemporary private Aosta, also in the company of Giovanna Botteri. #cathedral #mariaassunta #more #deal #beginning #something #enough #renaissance #aosta #valledaosta #essential #augusta #forum #unesco #gallery #above #giovanna #private #travel #traveling #visiting #instatravel #travelling #instatraveling #mytravelgram #travelgram #travelingram #massimopistis #sovVERSIvi #estremisti Information for the purchase of my new book "Estremisti!": the book at a cost of 12.00 euros (120 pages), can be ordered in bookstores (ISBN 978-88-591-5719-9 - Publisher Aletti) or online on the page http://www.alettieditore.it/emersi/2019/pistis.html from the link below. https://www.instagram.com/p/CKewc14lIKg/?igshid=12mzw8xmudh4z
