EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a timeless moment in front of the magnificent Cathedral of Our Lady of the Assumption in Palermo. The image showcases a family, dressed in uniform military clothing, standing proudly together against the backdrop of this iconic Norman-style church. The Cathedral itself is an architectural marvel, dating back to 1184 with subsequent additions made during the years 1429-1430 and 1781-1801. Its grandeur and historical significance are palpable as it stands tall amidst its surroundings. In this portrait, we see a diverse group consisting of both male and female members, along with a child. Their attire reflects not only their social status but also hints at the fashion trends prevalent during that era. The family's unity is evident through their close proximity to one another, symbolizing strength and support. Surrounded by lush palm trees and vibrant vegetation, this scene exudes tranquility while simultaneously highlighting elements of nature's beauty. The carefully manicured flowerbed adds an extra touch of elegance to the composition. Photographer Balocchi Vincenzo has skillfully captured this moment frozen in time from his unique perspective. Through his lens, he invites us to reflect on Europe's rich history spanning across multiple centuries - from medieval times through the first and second millenniums A. D. This extraordinary print serves as a reminder that art can transport us back in time while simultaneously connecting us with our present reality. It encapsulates not just a family portrait but also encompasses broader themes such as religion, society, politics, architecture - all within one frame.
