EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the cloister of San Giovanni degli Eremiti in Palermo, Italy. The image captures a moment from the late 19th or early 20th century, showcasing visitors exploring this magnificent architectural marvel. The cloister itself is a stunning example of Norman style architecture, dating all the way back to the Middle Ages. Its grandeur and historical significance are palpable as we observe its arches, building elements, and intricate decorations. Each column tells a story of centuries past, whispering tales of Europe's rich cultural heritage. Amongst these ancient walls stand both men and women dressed in clothing that reflects the fashion trends of their era. The women wear uniforms with hats or headdresses that denote their civilian, military, or religious roles. Their attire speaks volumes about societal norms and expectations during this period. As we gaze at this portrait frozen in time by photographer Aurelio Monteverde for Alinari Studios between 1899-1905, we can't help but feel a sense of awe at how history has unfolded within these very walls over the course of more than eight centuries since its construction in 1143. This print serves as a reminder not only of our shared human history but also highlights the enduring beauty and resilience found within structures like San Giovanni degli Eremiti. It invites us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry that went into creating such masterpieces while igniting our curiosity about those who once walked through these hallowed halls so many years ago.
