EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Campo Santo, Genoa's palace of the dead in Italy, taken around 1909 by an unknown creator. The Campo Santo is situated on the hillside of Staglieno, a remarkable monumental cemetery designed in Neo-Classical style by Carlo Barabino. By the late 1800s, this burial ground had gained popularity as both a final resting place and a tourist attraction. The image reveals a stunning view of the exterior of this Italian architectural gem. A woman stands gracefully on a path leading up to the grand entrance, accompanied by another female figure. Their presence adds life and perspective to this otherwise solemn setting. The photograph beautifully captures the essence of death and art intertwined within this neo-classical masterpiece. The terraced design creates an awe-inspiring visual effect while emphasizing its historical significance. Displayed through a Sun Sculpture stereoscope made by Underwood & Underwood, this black-and-white print evokes nostalgia for early cinematography techniques. It transports viewers back to an era when such images were cherished keepsakes that allowed people to explore far-off places from their own homes. Today, despite its vintage charm, Campo Santo remains an important landmark in Genoa's history and continues to attract tourists seeking cultural enrichment. This print serves as a testament to its enduring allure and invites us to appreciate both its architectural beauty and profound connection with mortality.
