Who said that a structure had to be made of steel, bricks and have four walls an a roof? clearly not artist Mauri who initially laid down the framework for this stunning cathedral constructed with trees back in 2002.
This awesome combination of architecture and nature will only continue to get even more impressive as they grow and join together to create the vaulted ceiling of a Gothic cathedral.
The artist sadly passed in 2009 and never got to see his vision completed. The cathedral located in Valsugana, Italy was then completed in 2010. In now continues to get better as every year goes by. Watch this space!.
