EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-162803-0000" transports us to the interior of the monumental cemetery of the Certosa di Bologna. Taken around 1890, this image offers a glimpse into a place frozen in time. The Certosa di Bologna is renowned for its stunning architecture and intricate details, which are beautifully captured in this photograph by Roberto Peli. Dating back to 1334, with additions made during the XIX-XX centuries, this sacred site holds immense historical significance. The photo showcases various elements that make up the cemetery's grandeur - from arches and building structures to ornate decorations and sections. Each detail tells a story of craftsmanship and devotion. As we explore further into the frame, statues emerge from their silent slumber, evoking emotions of reverence and contemplation. These sculptures stand as guardians over the tombs that lay beneath them – testaments to Christian faith and remembrance. Peli's masterful composition captures not only architectural beauty but also conveys a sense of tranquility within these hallowed grounds. Light filters through stained glass windows casting ethereal shadows on stone walls; it is as if time itself stands still within these sacred halls. This remarkable work serves as both an artistic tribute to human creativity and an invitation for reflection on life's transience. It reminds us that even in death, art endures - offering solace amidst grief while celebrating our shared humanity. The print by Roberto Peli invites us to immerse ourselves in history, architecture, sculpture – all intertwined within this magnificent funerary structure located in Bologna's heart.
