EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the grandeur and majesty of Staglieno Cemetery in Genoa, Italy, stands the hauntingly beautiful Calcagno family monument, a poignant testament to the enduring power of grief and loss. Captured in a photograph taken around 1905 by the renowned Italian artist Adolfo Apolloni, this bronze masterpiece depicts a figure in deep sorrow, lying on the steps of the monument and delicately deposing a wilted wreath on the grave below. The statue, a personification of sorrow, embodies the woe and despair that comes with the loss of loved ones. The intricate details of the figure's flowing robes and the lifelike expression of anguish on its face serve to heighten the emotional impact of the scene. The Calcagno family monument is a poignant reminder of the human condition and the universal experience of loss. The photograph, with its soft lighting and atmospheric quality, invites the viewer to pause and reflect on the transient nature of life and the enduring power of love and memory.
