EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 19th-century vintage photograph captures the aftermath of a devastating earthquake that struck the picturesque Italian town of Bussana Vecchia, located in the Ligurian coast near Sanremo, in 1887. The image, taken during the 1880s or 1890s, is an albumen print or collodion process, a common photographic technique of the time. The photograph offers a poignant glimpse into the past, revealing the extent of the destruction caused by the earthquake. The photograph shows a grand urban scene, with the ruins of buildings lining the streets and roads of the once-thriving village. The architecture, a mix of Italian styles, lies in disarray, with the remnants of red-tiled roofs and ornate facades visible among the rubble. The image transports us back to an era before modern reconstruction efforts, when the townspeople were left to pick up the pieces and rebuild their lives after the disaster. Bussana Vecchia, with its rich cultural heritage, was a popular destination for Grand Tours during the 1860s to the 1890s, attracting travelers from around the world. The earthquake, however, brought the town to a standstill, leaving it in ruins for decades. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the fragility of human-built structures and the power of nature to reshape the landscape. The image is a valuable historical document, offering a unique perspective on the past and the resilience of the people of Bussana Vecchia in the face of adversity. It is a testament to the enduring allure of Italian culture and the importance of preserving the past for future generations.
