Cult – 40 luoghi tra cielo e terra
by Ascari Giancarlo, Valentinis Pia
At the beginning there is a place. It can be on a lawn, in a cave, in a forest, in the desert, near a spring.
It is the place, surrounded by stones or poles, where men go to talk to the gods and to celebrate ceremonies. Then temples, pyramids, synagogues, churches, mosques, pagodas will be built: buildings of all shapes dedicated to cults and religions. Templi tells this: the places where humanity has brought joys and fears, desires and hopes since the dawn of time. A world tour that goes from Stonehenge to Easter Island, from Jerusalem to Mecca, from New York to Moscow. A journey through time that starts from the prehistoric caves and reaches the Sikh temples in the Po Valley today. Because cults and religions, like people, never stand still and run for thousand years and thousand miles.
