EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating aftermath of the Sicilian-Calabro earthquake that struck on 28 December 1908. The focal point of the image is the Orione fountain, located in Piazza Duomo in Messina, which stands as a poignant symbol of resilience amidst destruction. The Orione fountain itself is a masterpiece of High Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. Created by renowned artists Giovanni Angelo da Montorsoli and Domenico Vanello between 1547 and 1553, it exemplifies the grandeur and elegance characteristic of European art during this era. However, on that fateful day in December, tragedy befell Messina as the earthquake unleashed its destructive force upon the city. The once-majestic square now lies in ruins, with rubble scattered around like broken dreams. The view extends beyond just the wreckage; it offers a glimpse into a city forever changed by natural elements and phenomena. Despite this devastation, there is an undeniable beauty to be found within this photograph. It serves as a testament to human perseverance and our ability to rebuild even when faced with unimaginable challenges. As we gaze upon this scene from over a century ago, we are reminded not only of the fragility of life but also of our capacity for hope and renewal. This print was captured by an unidentified author but has been preserved through time thanks to Giorgio Roster's efforts at Alinari. Its historical significance cannot be overstated – it immortalizes both an architectural marvel from centuries past and an event that shaped countless lives. As we reflect upon this image today, let us remember those who lost their lives or were forever changed by this tragic event. May their stories inspire us to cherish every moment while striving for resilience in times of adversity.
