EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "CAD-S-050013-0003", transports us back in time to the bustling St. Peter's Square on a sunny day of April 14th, 1932. The subject of this portrait is a woman who stands gracefully amidst the grandeur of Bernini Gian Lorenzo's architectural masterpiece. Bernini's colonnade serves as an impressive backdrop, its building elements and intricate decorations showcasing his genius. The square itself exudes a sense of urban elegance, with its structured layout and majestic fountain that adds a touch of hydraulic beauty to the scene. The woman in focus wears a fashionable hat atop her head, adding flair to her headdress which hints at her social status or religious affiliation. Her attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, giving us insight into the clothing styles prevalent during those times. With action frozen in time, we catch a glimpse into this street scene where people go about their daily lives against the stunning backdrop of Vatican City. This photo also offers us a view beyond St. Peter's Square - providing glimpses into other parts of the cityscape. Captured by Aurelio Monteverde, this photograph not only showcases his artistic talent but also pays homage to Bernini's masterful work and captures an essence unique to that specific moment in history. As we gaze upon this remarkable image, we are transported back to 1932 when life was different yet somehow familiar. It reminds us that even though years may pass and fashions change, there will always be timeless beauty found within art and architecture like Bernini’s masterpiece in St. Peter’s Square.
