EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Earthquakes of November 16,1894 in Seminara in Calabria" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Captured by the talented photographer Mauro Ledru, this image transports us to the streets of Seminara during a time of great turmoil. The scene depicted is one of devastation and chaos. The street lamp stands tall amidst the ruins, its light now extinguished. The urban landscape lies shattered and broken, with debris scattered all around. This photograph captures not only the physical destruction but also the emotional toll that such natural disasters inflict on a community. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are drawn to various elements within it. A door hangs precariously from its hinges, symbolizing both entryways into new beginnings and barriers preventing escape from danger. Furniture and furnishings lie strewn across the street as remnants of once vibrant civic spaces. Amidst this desolation, there is still life fighting to thrive. Vegetation emerges defiantly through cracks in the rubble-covered ground—a testament to nature's resilience even in times of adversity. Ledru's composition skillfully captures an entire cityscape within a single frame. We see glimpses of other buildings beyond the immediate foreground—each structure bearing witness to its own story of survival or demise. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder that despite our best efforts at control and progress, we are ultimately at nature's mercy. It prompts reflection on our vulnerability as humans while inspiring awe for Mother Earth's immense power. Ledru's work allows us to bear witness to history frozen in time—an everlasting reminder that even amidst tragedy, hope can emerge from despair.
