EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting beauty of Brazil's Parati, a Portuguese colonial town center. The focal point is the magnificent church of Saint Rita of Cascia, which stands proudly amidst its surroundings. As seen from the water, this picturesque scene transports you back in time to an era when sugar cube terracotta buildings and bell towers dominated the skyline. The church itself is a true marvel with its baroque architecture and intricate details. Its bell tower reaches towards the heavens, symbolizing faith and spirituality. Inside, one can find religious artifacts such as statues of Menino Jesus (Baby Jesus) and Santa Quiteria (Saint Quiteria), adding to the sacred atmosphere. Parati holds immense historical significance and has been recognized as part of Brazil's national heritage by UNESCO. It lies on the tentative list for inclusion in the Gold Route in Parati and its landscape – a route that played a crucial role during Brazil's gold rush era. Beyond its rich history, Parati also hosts various cultural events like literary festivals that attract visitors from all over Latin America. The image captures not only the architectural wonders but also hints at vibrant festivities taking place along its quays and docks. Through ARO's lens, this print immortalizes Parati's charm while inviting viewers to explore its hidden treasures firsthand.
