EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Les destructions de monuments a Venise; Coupole de l'eglise San-Pietro di Castello," captures the devastating impact of the First World War on the historic city of Venice, Italy. The image, created in 1916, shows the destroyed cupola of San Pietro di Castello church, which was struck by an incendiary bomb and only the lantern survived the fire. The Austro-Hungarian forces carried out a series of air raids on Venice during the war, targeting its strategic location on the Adriatic Sea. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the destruction wrought upon this iconic European city, known for its beautiful architecture and rich Christian heritage. The cupola, a domed architectural feature, was a significant part of the church's exterior, and its destruction is a testament to the devastating consequences of aerial warfare during this period. The photograph, from the Collection de la Guerre IV, was published in the French magazine L'Illustration in 1916, providing a visual record of the war's impact on Venice and its people. The photograph's unknown creator captured the desolation and destruction, leaving a lasting impression on viewers even a century later.
