EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the cloister of San Giovanni degli Eremiti in Palermo, Italy. The image captures a moment from April 14th, 1928, but the artwork itself dates all the way back to 1143. The cloister is a stunning example of Norman style architecture from the Middle Ages, showcasing Europe's rich history during the first and second millenniums. As we gaze upon this print by Aurelio Monteverde, we are immediately drawn to its intricate details. The arches and building elements create a sense of grandeur and strength, while delicate decorations adorn every corner. The columns stand tall and proud, supporting the structure with grace. This religious sanctuary exudes tranquility as visitors wander through its hallowed halls. In this particular scene captured by Monteverde's lens, we see both men and women exploring the cloister. Their clothing reflects the fashion of their time - flowing gowns for women and headdresses that vary between civilians, military personnel or those with religious affiliations. As we delve into this snapshot frozen in time, it becomes clear that this print is not just an ordinary depiction; it is a window into history. It allows us to witness firsthand how people lived centuries ago within these sacred walls. Let us cherish this remarkable piece of artistry by Aurelio Monteverde as it serves as a reminder of our collective past. May it inspire future generations to appreciate the beauty found within ancient architectural wonders like San Giovanni degli Eremiti's cloister in Palermo.
