EDITORS COMMENTS
Avigliana, Italy - The Grand Lake and View of the Salesiani Madonna Dei Laghi Catholic Church (circa 1910s) Nestled in the heart of Piedmont, Italy, lies the picturesque town of Avigliana, home to the stunning Grand Lake, or Lago Grande. This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, captures the breathtaking beauty of the area, with its crystal-clear waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding mountains and the quaint, traditional Italian buildings. At the center of the image, the Salesiani Madonna Dei Laghi Catholic Church stands proudly, its white walls and red-tiled roof contrasting against the lush greenery and the blue waters of the lake. The church, which translates to "Salesian Madonna of the Lakes," is a testament to the strong faith and deep-rooted traditions of the community. The peaceful scene is further enhanced by the reeds lining the lakeside, swaying gently in the breeze, and the mountains in the background, their peaks reaching towards the sky. The serene atmosphere is a reminder of the natural beauty and rich history that can be found in the Italian countryside. This photograph, taken over a century ago, transports us back in time, allowing us to imagine the daily life of the people who once called this place home. It is a snapshot of a simpler time, a time when the rhythm of life was dictated by the changing of the seasons and the beauty of nature. Avigliana, with its Grand Lake and the Salesiani Madonna Dei Laghi Catholic Church, is a hidden gem in the Piedmont region of Italy, waiting to be explored and appreciated by those who seek the beauty and tranquility of the Italian countryside.
