EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th-century engraving, titled "View of St. Peters Square during a Conclave for the election of a new Pope" offers a glimpse into an intriguing tradition that once took place in Vatican City. As the announcement of the newly elected Pope echoed through the air, an enthusiastic crowd would surge towards the home of the chosen Cardinal, eagerly participating in what can only be described as organized chaos. In this particular representation, we see a Cardinal Palatin being celebrated by his devoted followers. Living within the grandeur of Vatican Palace, his residence became both a symbol and target for this unique custom. The scene depicts jubilant individuals rushing towards his property with excitement and fervor. The artist skillfully captures this momentous occasion with intricate details and lively energy. The architecture surrounding St. Peter's Square stands tall and majestic while serving as witness to this age-old spectacle. Each figure is meticulously etched to convey their enthusiasm and anticipation. Although it may seem unusual by today's standards, this tradition reflects an era when public displays were intertwined with religious ceremonies. It serves as a reminder of how deeply rooted faith was in people's lives during that time. As we gaze upon this historical print from Stefano Bianchetti's private collection, we are transported back to an era where traditions shaped communities' collective identity – even if they involved ransacking properties!
