EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-198598-0000" takes us back in time to the haunting ruins of the Sentinella hotel in Casamicciola Terme. The image captures a somber scene that bears witness to the devastating impact of an earthquake that struck on July 28,1883. The Sentinella hotel, once a symbol of grandeur and luxury, now stands as a poignant reminder of the destructive forces unleashed by nature. Its crumbling structure serves as a testament to both the fragility of human creations and our resilience in the face of adversity. Achille Mauri's skilled photography transports us into this melancholic landscape with its mix of architectural remnants and natural elements. The composition expertly frames the ruins against a backdrop that showcases both beauty and devastation simultaneously. We are reminded not only of society's vulnerability but also its ability to rebuild and move forward. The date imprinted on this print acts as a historical marker, forever preserving this significant event for future generations to reflect upon. It invites contemplation about how such catastrophic events shape societies politically, socially, and economically. Mauri's lens captures more than just physical destruction; it reveals glimpses into societal dynamics during times of crisis. This photograph becomes an artifact documenting not only an earthquake but also humanity's response to tragedy. As we gaze upon this evocative image, we can't help but ponder our place within nature's vast power while appreciating Mauri's artistry in capturing such profound scenes from history.
