This print captures a mesmerizing view of the port of Messina in 1962. The focal point of this stunning image is the magnificent statue of the Madonna della Lettera, standing tall on a column in the foreground. This stele-like structure serves as a commemorative monument, adding an air of grandeur to the bustling port. The architecture surrounding the port showcases both naval and river elements, emphasizing its significance as a hub for transportation by sea. The vast seascape stretches out beyond, offering a breathtaking backdrop to this lively scene. It's impossible not to be enchanted by the seamless blend of natural beauty and man-made structures that define this landscape. The statue itself is truly a work of art, meticulously crafted with intricate details that demand admiration.
