A Sacred Journey: Santa Maria degli Angeli Through a Filmmaker’s Lens
Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli的点评
点评：As a traveling photographer and filmmaker with a deep love for history, my visit to Santa Maria degli Angeli in Italy was unlike any other. I was there working on a documentary about the Franciscan Sisters of Philadelphia on a pilgrimage, but what I experienced went beyond the lens—it was an encounter with something truly profound.
The basilica itself is magnificent, an architectural masterpiece that feels both grand and intimate at the same time. Its vast domed ceilings, intricate frescoes, and the sheer weight of history built into its very foundation create an overwhelming sense of awe. But what makes this place truly special is not just its beauty—it’s what lies within.
At its heart is the Porziuncola, the tiny chapel where St. Francis of Assisi prayed and founded the Franciscan movement. Standing before it, surrounded by the towering grandeur of the basilica, I was struck by the contrast—this small, humble chapel, enclosed within such splendor, is a reminder of the simple yet powerful faith that shaped history. As I filmed, I could see it in the faces of the pilgrims around me—expressions of devotion, wonder, and even tears. For those who are devout or spiritual, it’s easy to understand why this place is so moving.
Beyond the Porziuncola, the Chapel of the Transitus, marking the spot where St. Francis passed away, carries a solemn yet peaceful energy. The artwork, the silence, the flickering candles—all of it makes you pause and reflect. Even as someone behind the camera, documenting rather than participating in the pilgrimage, I felt the weight of centuries of faith, prayer, and devotion.
Visiting Santa Maria degli Angeli isn’t just about seeing an incredible historical site—it’s about feeling the presence of something greater than oneself. Whether you are deeply religious, a lover of history, or simply an admirer of extraordinary places, this basilica leaves an indelible impression. I came as a storyteller—but I left with an experience I will carry with me forever.
A must-visit for anyone seeking beauty, history, and a place that speaks to the soul.

翻译：作为一名热爱历史的旅行摄影师和电影制作人，我对意大利圣玛利亚天使教堂的访问与众不同。我当时正在那里拍摄一部关于费城方济各修女朝圣之旅的纪录片，但我所经历的超越了镜头——这是一次与真正深刻事物的邂逅。
大教堂本身非常宏伟，是一座建筑杰作，既宏伟又亲切。它巨大的圆顶天花板、复杂的壁画以及融入其地基的厚重历史感让人惊叹不已。但这个地方真正特别之处不仅仅是它的美丽——而是它内部的东西。
它的核心是 Porziuncola，这是一座小教堂，圣方济各·阿西西在这里祈祷并创立了方济各会运动。站在教堂前，四周环绕着大教堂高耸的宏伟建筑，我被这种对比所震撼——这座小而简陋的教堂被如此辉煌的包围着，让人想起塑造历史的简单而强大的信仰。当我拍摄时，我可以从周围朝圣者的脸上看到这一点——虔诚、惊奇甚至流泪的表情。对于那些虔诚或有灵性的人来说，很容易理解为什么这个地方如此感人。
在 Porziuncola 之外，标志着圣弗朗西斯去世地点的 Transitus 教堂散发着庄严而平和的能量。艺术品、寂静、闪烁的蜡烛——所有这些都让你停下来思考。即使作为一个在镜头后面记录而不是参与朝圣的人，我也感受到了几个世纪以来信仰、祈祷和虔诚的重量。
参观圣玛丽亚天使教堂不仅仅是为了参观一个令人难以置信的历史遗迹——它是为了感受到比自己更伟大的东西的存在。无论你是虔诚的宗教信徒、历史爱好者，还是仅仅是非凡地方的崇拜者，这座大教堂都给人留下了不可磨灭的印象。我来这里是为了讲故事——但我离开时却获得了我将永远铭记的经历。
对于任何寻求美丽、历史和触动心灵的地方的人来说，这里都是必去之地。
