EARLY CHRISTIAN MOSAICS
THE MAUSOLEUM OF SANTA COSTANZA
The Mausoleum was built in the mid-fourth century to house the relics of Constantino, daughter of Constantino, venerated by the Catholic Church as St. Costanza.
According to legend, Costanza, suffering from an incurable disease, went to the tomb of St. Agnese in Rome, where she miraculously healed and converted to Christianity.
The wonderful Christian mosaics that decorate the vaults of the Mausoleum are among the oldest still preserved in Rome.The mosaic decorations alternate between geometric patterns and naturalistic scenes.
Abstract geometries, inspired by the pavements of Roman domus of pagan tradition, are contrasted with depictions of free nature, enriched by plant elements such as flowers and fruits, animals such as doves and peacocks, and Christian baptismal symbols such as amphorae, cups and saucers.
The mausoleum of St. Costanza represents an outstanding testimony to the transition from traditional pagan themes to early Christian art.
The campaign shots immortalize the purity and bliss of St. Costanza, both in the Mausoleum dedicated to her and in the Kingdom of Heaven.
