EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring exterior of the Abbey of Monte Cassino, situated on Monastery Hill in Cassino, Italy. The Italian School beautifully portrays this iconic landmark that holds a rich history within its walls. Founded by St. Benedict of Norcia in 529, the abbey has witnessed numerous transformations throughout the centuries. Rebuilt after an earthquake in 1349, it faced further devastation during World War II when it was destroyed by Allied forces in 1944. However, displaying resilience and determination, it was reconstructed for a second time to restore its former glory. This hilltop monastery stood as a symbol of strength and endurance amidst relentless battles during the war. The photograph showcases the imposing architecture of this monastic structure with its solid foundations firmly rooted on top of the hill. Its grandeur is accentuated by the surrounding landscape that stretches out into Europe's horizon. As we admire this image, we are reminded not only of Italy's cultural heritage but also of humanity's ability to rebuild even in times of great adversity. The presence of the Italian flag flying proudly nearby serves as a testament to national pride and unity. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and architectural beauty embodied by Monte Cassino Abbey while evoking feelings of admiration for those who fought valiantly to preserve such treasures during one of history's darkest periods
