The Basilica of Saint Maria Maggiore in Siponto is one of the most important examples of Apulian Romanesque architecture, built between the 11th and 12th centuries. It is distinguished by its square plan, elegant stone structure, and the presence of a striking crypt as large as the upper church, enhancing its historical and architectural charm.

The 3D reconstruction of the ancient early Christian basilica in Siponto, created by Edoardo Tresoldi, is an impressive installation made of metal mesh that reproduces the original structure at full scale. Transparent and lightweight, it interacts with the nearby medieval basilica, restoring its original volumes and shapes while creating a striking dialogue between past and present.
