EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Old ladies taking Holy Communion during church services" transports us back to a bygone era. Captured between the years 1960-1970 by the talented photographer Borra Giuseppe, this image encapsulates the essence of religious devotion and community. The scene unfolds within the sacred space of a church altar, adorned with various elements and furnishings for worship. A magnificent marble balustrade frames the composition, adding an air of grandeur to the setting. The flickering light from a candelabrum casts gentle shadows on those gathered around. In focus are a group of elderly women, their faces etched with deep lines that speak volumes about their life experiences. Dressed in traditional fashion and religious attire, they wear veils and headdresses as symbols of reverence. Their presence is juxtaposed against that of priests and altar boys who assist in conducting this solemn religious rite. Every detail in this photograph tells a story - from the carefully embroidered tablecloth covering the altar to statuesque works of art adorning its surface. Through these objects and symbols, we glimpse into an abstract concept: faith expressed through allegory. Giuseppe's masterful composition captures not only individual portraits but also conveys a sense of unity among these worshippers. It reminds us that religion has always been deeply rooted in human connection and shared beliefs. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever – one where old ladies find solace in partaking in Holy Communion amidst their fellow believers.
