EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the aftermath of the devastating Messina earthquake that struck on November 16,1894. The image showcases the camp of the real police, set up in San Francesco di Paola Square amidst the ruins and chaos left by nature's wrath. The photograph provides a glimpse into the resilience and determination of those affected by this tragic event. In the foreground, we see a tent-like structure, serving as temporary shelter for Captain Vincent Frosali's estate. This movable architecture stands as a symbol of hope and survival amidst destruction. The square itself is an urban oasis turned into a makeshift refuge for survivors. A group portrait reveals individuals engaged in various actions – some conversing with one another, others tending to their immediate needs or surveying their surroundings with concern etched on their faces. Beyond this intimate scene lies a street view that offers glimpses of what remains of Messina after its encounter with disaster. The cityscape appears fragmented yet resilient; buildings reduced to rubble but still standing tall against all odds. This historical artifact holds immense value not only as an object frozen in time but also as a testament to human strength and unity during times of adversity. It serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, communities can come together to rebuild and forge ahead towards brighter horizons. Authored by an unidentified photographer from Alinari, this print encapsulates both tragedy and triumph within its frame—a hauntingly beautiful tribute to those who endured unimaginable hardship while inspiring future generations never to forget nor repeat such devastation again.
