EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the aftermath of the Austro-Hungarian aerial bombing of San Pietro di Castello, one of the two major churches in Venice, Italy, during the First World War in 1916. The image, titled "Les Deux eglises venitiennes atteintes par les bombes des aviateurs autrichiens" (The Two Churches of Venice Hit by Austrian Aviators), shows the extensive damage inflicted upon the historic church's facade and dome. The cupola, a prominent architectural feature of the church, has been engulfed in flames, while boats and other transportation means can be seen in the foreground, adding to the chaos and destruction. The photograph is a poignant reminder of the devastating impact of aerial warfare during the First World War, which saw the destruction of numerous cultural and historical sites across Europe. The image is taken from "Collection de la Guerre IV. L'Illustration Tome CXLVIII. La Guerre Juillet, Aout, Septembre, Octobre, Novembre, Decembre 1916," a publication documenting the events of the war. The creator of the photograph remains unknown, adding to the mystery and historical significance of the image. The church of San Pietro di Castello, located in the heart of Venice, is a prominent Christian site and an essential part of the city's rich cultural heritage. Its damage during the war was a blow to the Italian people and a reminder of the destructive consequences of war. Today, the church stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the Italian people to rebuild and preserve their heritage.
