Verified profile

Luigi Sacchi, eclectic and lover of the arts, entered as a student at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in 1822. He initially devoted himself to painting and then moved on to lithography and woodcut. Discovered photography in the 1940s, also thanks to an editorial activity that led him to Paris (also on behalf of Alessandro Manzoni), Sacchi became passionate about and tenaciously studied its manufacturing processes, orienting himself towards the calotype technique. He is particularly interested in works of art, architecture and archeology. Between 1851 and 1855 he designed and created the editorial work Monuments, views and costumes of Italy, a series of 100 salted papers chosen from over 300 photographs taken by him during his travels through Italy to document its artistic beauties. The perspective view that takes up the right side of the quadriportico and the facade of the basilica of Sant'Ambrogio is most likely part of the third series of the aforementioned work, dedicated to northern Italy and dated to 1854. The basilica was resumed before the restorations promoted in 1857 by the Austrian government, but carried out only after the unification of Italy. On the central arch of the narthex you can see the imperial coat of arms of the Habsburgs with the double-headed eagle, removed in 1859 after the annexation of Lombardy to Piedmont and the Kingdom of Italy.
