EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "FVQ-F-089159-0000" we are transported back to the historic moment of June 5th, 1945. The image captures the essence of a significant event in Turin's history - the liberation of the city. At its center stands Cardinal Maurilio Fossati, an esteemed figure in Turin and a symbol of hope for its people. The cardinal is seen celebrating a solemn mass in Piazza Vittorio Veneto, surrounded by a sea of faithful individuals who have gathered to commemorate this joyous occasion. As he raises his hands towards the heavens, his presence exudes both strength and reverence. It is evident that this religious rite holds immense significance not only for those present but also for the entire Christian community. The scene itself reflects more than just religious devotion; it encapsulates society and politics intertwined with contemporary history subjects. This official demonstration serves as a testament to unity and resilience after enduring years of World War II's hardships. As our eyes wander beyond the cardinal and his congregation, we catch glimpses of Turin's urban landscape - buildings rising proudly against an azure sky. The view offers us insight into what life was like during that time period - streets filled with jubilant citizens eager to rebuild their lives amidst newfound freedom. A candelabrum adorns the altar where Cardinal Fossati conducts mass, casting warm light upon him and illuminating his sacred duties. This object serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos, faith can guide us towards brighter days. This remarkable photograph has been preserved through time by Alinari but remains attributed to an unidentified author whose lens captured this poignant moment forever etched in history books. Its power lies not only in its visual beauty but also in its ability to transport us back to a monumental day when liberation triumphed over darkness.
