The Church of Santa Maria Nuova in Viterbo exudes its many many years of age--1000-1100 CE, looks plainly as if ancient columns used to support the starkly simple timber roof.
In Medieval times, people stood during church serves--common people anyway. How many thousands through the many ages have attended? How many "passages" observed? Any persons'
christening, confirmation, wedding, funeral, happening in the proper season of life; generation after generation for a thousand years?
Light, timber and columns.
