EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the mid-19th century, depicts a group of young men engrossed in their studies at the Propaganda College in Rome, Italy. Established in 1584, this prestigious institution was dedicated to the education and training of future Roman Catholic priests. The students in this image, dressed in the traditional ecclesiastical attire of the time, are shown deep in conversation or intently focused on their texts. Their garb, reminiscent of the Victorian era, consists of long black robes, white collars, and the distinctive tricorn hats. The tricorn, also known as a tricorne or tricornes, was a popular headgear during the 18th and 19th centuries, worn by various social and professional groups. In this context, it served as an essential part of the priests' formal attire. The photograph was published in the Illustrated London News in 1850, providing a glimpse into the daily lives of students at the Propaganda College during this period. The image offers a fascinating insight into the fashion and education systems of the time, as well as the strong connection between Britain and the Roman Catholic Church. The Propaganda College, with its rich history and tradition, continues to be an essential part of the Roman Catholic Church, shaping the lives of countless young men who have dedicated themselves to the priesthood. This evocative photograph serves as a testament to the enduring influence of religious education and the importance of preserving our historical records.
