EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Piazza Sant'Egidio in Trastevere, Rome. The image captures a picturesque scene, with the former convent of Sant'Egidio dominating the foreground and the majestic transept of the church of Santa Maria in Trastevere gracing the background. The former convent of Sant'Egidio stands as a testament to history, its architectural elements exuding an air of grandeur and elegance. Its intricate decoration and sections showcase exquisite craftsmanship that has stood the test of time. Meanwhile, beyond its walls, we catch a glimpse of the transept belonging to Santa Maria in Trastevere—a symbol of faith and devotion. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded not only of these remarkable structures but also their significance within Christian religious heritage. These buildings have witnessed countless prayers uttered by believers seeking solace or expressing gratitude. The bustling square surrounding these magnificent edifices adds another layer to this composition—its urban charm contrasting with the solemnity found within those sacred walls. Amidst it all, a young boy stands on a staircase—an innocent portrait capturing both vulnerability and resilience. This extraordinary photograph was taken between 1880-1890 by Roesler Franz Ettore from Alinari—an artist who skillfully captured moments that transcend generations. As we gaze upon this stunning print today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its ability to transport us back into history—to experience firsthand the rich tapestry woven by architecture, religion, community life, and human emotion in one timeless frame.
