EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the devastating aftermath of a cyclone that wreaked havoc on Palermo, Sicily in 1931. The sheer force of nature is evident as a massive body of water engulfs the city, flooding squares and streets with relentless power. People are seen abandoning their homes, seeking refuge in boats to escape the rising waters. The artist Achille Beltrame skillfully depicts the chaos and destruction caused by this natural disaster in his drawing for "la Domenica del Corriere". The scene is filled with despair and urgency as individuals navigate through treacherous currents to ensure their safety. Tragically, these floods resulted in several casualties, leaving behind a trail of devastation. Stefano Bianchetti's preservation of this historical moment allows us to reflect on the resilience of humanity when faced with adversity. It serves as a reminder that even in times of crisis, people come together to support one another and find ways to survive. As we gaze upon this powerful image from our private collection, we are reminded of the unpredictable forces that shape our world. It also highlights the importance of meteorology and knowledge about weather patterns for safeguarding communities against future disasters. This photograph stands as a testament to both human vulnerability and strength while capturing an important chapter in Sicilian history during the 20th century.
