N. 67 Palermo Cathedrale c. 1893 - 1903

Giuseppe Incorpora captured Palermo Cathedral with his camera, a magnificent structure where different cultural epochs converge. The dome, prominent in this image, reminds us of the Roman Pantheon, a symbol of power and architectural innovation. The impulse to build grand domes transcends time; we see it echoed in Byzantine churches and Renaissance cathedrals. This upward-striving form embodies humanity's desire to connect with the divine. The architectural style, a blend of Norman and Arab influences, speaks to the layered history of Sicily. These cultural palimpsests remind us that symbols are never static. They evolve, carrying echoes of the past while adapting to new contexts. This cathedral, like the images it contains, acts as a vessel of collective memory, resonating with subconscious associations across generations.
