EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, taken in 1929, we witness the tunneling works at Vatican City in Rome, Italy, marking a significant moment in the connection of the sacred area with the Italian State Railway. The image captures the raw energy and determination of the construction process, as workers toil tirelessly to excavate the tunnel through the rugged terrain. The area surrounding the Vatican, a city-state enclaved within Rome, was in dire need of improved transportation infrastructure. The new railway line aimed to alleviate the congestion caused by the increasing number of pilgrims and visitors, as well as facilitate the efficient movement of goods and supplies. The photograph shows the intricate network of tunnels being carved out from the solid rock, with piles of rubble and debris scattered around the site. The workers, dressed in traditional Italian construction attire, are seen operating various machinery and tools to expedite the excavation process. The tunnel's entrance is visible in the background, with a narrow road leading up to it, providing access to the site. The Vatican Railway, also known as the "Ferrovia Vaticana," was an essential project that brought the Vatican City into the modern era of transportation. The railway line, which officially opened in 1932, connected the Vatican with the Italian State Railway network, allowing for seamless travel between the city and the rest of Italy. This photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of the construction workers who made this ambitious project a reality.
