Giuseppe Momo Staircase

Momo built a double helix spiral staircase in 1932 that became one of the most photographed objects in the entire 9 miles of Vatican art. I love the way Italian artists put so much pride into their art - even when it was used for such functional purposes. Here a lone figure pauses while movement continues. A two-second exposure captured the progression.
