Di passaggio a Lodi, ci ha colpito la semplicità lineare e aggraziata della facciata romanica di questa chiesa dedicata a San Lorenzo Martire che si ritiene essere la più antica di Lodi (risalente al XII secolo). Siamo entrati e siamo stati rapiti dall'intenso barocco dell'interno cui sopravvivono testimonianze artistiche (affreschi, oli, stucchi ecc) di epoche precedenti. Non siamo in grado di citare gli artisti cui sono attribuite le opere, ma renderle visibili con delle foto è il minimo che si potesse fare. Eccole, giudicate voi.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
