EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of the Church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, nestled in the enchanting Piazza della Bocca della Verita in Rome. The image, taken between 1880-1890 by Roesler Franz Ettore, transports us back to the XII century when this Romanesque masterpiece was first constructed. The church's bell tower proudly stands tall against a backdrop of ancient buildings, symbolizing its significance as a religious and architectural landmark. Its sturdy structure is a testament to centuries of history that have unfolded within its walls. As we gaze upon this print, we are drawn to the intricate details adorning both the exterior and interior of the church. The facade showcases exquisite decorations and sections that speak volumes about Europe's artistic prowess during the Middle Ages. Every corner seems to whisper stories from a distant past. The square surrounding Santa Maria in Cosmedin serves as an open-air museum, with sculptures and furnishings for civic spaces adding charm to every step taken on its cobblestone paths. It is here that one can find not only religious devotion but also remnants of ancient Roman temples and archaeological sites. Ettore's photograph beautifully captures this fusion of history and spirituality; it invites us to explore beyond what our eyes can see. With each glance at this artwork, we are transported through time - from Rome's bustling streets in the late 19th century back into an era where faith intertwined with daily life. Let this print serve as a reminder that while civilizations rise and fall, some structures endure as testaments to human ingenuity and unwavering devotion throughout generations.
