EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "CAD-S-150014-0007" we are transported back to the enchanting streets of Scanno, Italy on a chilly winter day. The date etched in history as 14th February 1926 adds an air of nostalgia to the scene. As our gaze is drawn towards the grand entrance of Chiesa di Santa Maria della Valle, we witness a mesmerizing sight. A group of women, adorned in exquisite traditional dresses, gracefully exit the church's imposing doors. Their attire reflects their deep-rooted connection with their ethnic heritage and pays homage to centuries-old customs. Each woman stands tall and proud, embodying the spirit of their ancestors who walked these very streets before them. The architectural elements surrounding them add depth and character to the composition. The intricate details adorning the door frame evoke a sense of reverence for this sacred place. Stairs cascade down from within, leading us into a world where faith intertwines with tradition. Monteverde's masterful lens captures not only the physical beauty but also reveals glimpses into each woman's soul through his portrayal of their expressive faces. Their eyes sparkle with warmth and wisdom while their smiles hint at shared stories passed down through generations. This photograph by Aurelio Monteverde serves as a timeless tribute to cultural diversity and celebrates the strength found within traditions that withstand time's relentless march forward. It reminds us that even amidst change, there are moments when we can glimpse our collective pasts merging seamlessly with our present realities - reminding us all that we are part of something greater than ourselves alone.
