EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the resilience and unwavering spirit of Torre del Greco, a town that has faced the wrath of Vesuvius thirteen times, yet always managed to rise from the ashes. The color lithograph by Achille Beltrame depicts a scene filled with profound symbolism and religious fervor. The image transports us to the end of 1861 when the last eruption occurred on the day of the Immaculate Conception. In commemoration of this miraculous event, an annual procession takes place where the image of the Miraculous Madonna is solemnly brought in by devoted locals. This celebration serves as a testament to their faith and gratitude for surviving such catastrophic disasters. The illustration captures various elements that define this significant occasion. A chariot adorned with flowers and garlands carries statues representing Catholicism while women dressed in robes walk alongside it. The crowd gathers in large numbers, witnessing this grand parade amidst reconstructed buildings that stand tall after each eruption. Beltrame's attention to detail brings life to every aspect depicted - from horses pulling chariots to explosions erupting from Vesuvius itself. The artist skillfully portrays both human devotion and nature's destructive power within one frame. This print not only showcases Torre del Greco's history but also highlights its architectural beauty, including its magnificent cathedral nestled against a backdrop dominated by Vesuvius' imposing presence. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of devastation, hope can be found through faith and unity.
