The most beautiful LIVING cathedral:
The Tree Cathedral.
But how was it built?Giuliano Mauri, a unique artist and an advocate of natural architecture, came up with the concept of living cathedrals, using trees for the walls and roofs.
It consists of 42 columns that form a basilica with five aisles. Poles of fir and 600 branches from chestnut trees and 66,000 meters of hazel branches were woven together with string and nails, forming a support structure for 42 beech trees that were planted. As the beech trees grow, they will form natural columns. As the support structure deteriorates, the trees will have grown to replace it.
The work was completed by a skilled team led by Mauri's son, Robert, under the artistic direction of Paola Tognon. It was built in a quiet glade surrounded by tall trees.
Now the Tree Cathedral near the northern Italian city of Bergamo is a posthumous memorial to him.
