EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of a rocky promontory in Portovenere, where the historic Church of San Pietro proudly stands. The image takes us back to a bygone era, showcasing the remarkable Romanesque architecture that has withstood the test of time. The Church of San Pietro, dating back to the 6th century and completed in 1277, is a testament to Europe's rich religious heritage. Its sturdy stone walls and intricate details reflect the craftsmanship and devotion that went into its construction during the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported to an age when faith played a central role in people's lives. The church stands tall against the backdrop of rugged cliffs and crashing waves, symbolizing strength amidst adversity. It serves as both a spiritual sanctuary for worshippers and an architectural marvel for admirers. Alinari, Fratelli skillfully captured this timeless scene around 1915-1920, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. Their lens allows us to witness firsthand how history unfolds through art and architecture. This print evokes feelings of awe and reverence as we contemplate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance.

Let this image serve as a reminder that even amidst change and progress, there are enduring structures like the Church of San Pietro that stand as reminders of our shared past – testaments to human ingenuity and unwavering faith throughout centuries gone by.
