EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "CAD-S-080008-0005" by Aurelio Monteverde from Alinari, we are transported back in time to the enchanting Verna Sanctuary. The image captures a group of visitors immersed in a profound religious experience, as they stand before the magnificent Christian structure. Taken on the 20th and 21st of September in 1919, this photograph beautifully showcases both the architectural grandeur of the sanctuary and an intriguing street scene. The visitors appear deeply engaged, their expressions reflecting awe and reverence for their surroundings. It is as if they have been captivated by something beyond our view - perhaps an inspiring sermon or a moment of spiritual revelation. The composition skillfully frames not only the human element but also offers us a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside. Lush green hills stretch out into the distance, providing a serene backdrop to this sacred place. Amidst nature's beauty stands a prominent cross, symbolizing faith and sacrifice. Monteverde's expert eye has captured both action and stillness within this single frame; it is evident that he possesses great talent in capturing fleeting moments frozen forever through his lens. His attention to detail allows us to appreciate every intricate aspect of this historic sanctuary - from its ornate architecture to its tranquil ambiance. This remarkable print transports us back nearly a century ago when people sought solace and inspiration within these hallowed walls. As we gaze upon it today, we can't help but feel connected to those who came before us seeking hope, guidance, or simply marveling at man's ability to create such extraordinary structures dedicated to faith.
