EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Lighthouse of Genoa, Italy, also known as La Lanterna, in the early 1920s. The image transports us back in time, as the historic structure stands tall against the backdrop of the Ligurian Sea. The lighthouse, a symbol of Genoa and its rich maritime history, has been guiding sailors safely to the city's harbor since the late 16th century. The photograph reveals a serene and peaceful scene, with the lighthouse casting a long, dramatic shadow on the water's edge. The sky above is clear, with a few wispy clouds scattered about, while the sea is calm and still. The intricate details of the lighthouse's stonework are visible, from the ornate balconies to the lantern room at the very top. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of Genoa during this era. Fishing boats can be seen moored in the harbor, while a few figures can be seen on the dock, likely engaged in the bustling commercial activity that once thrived in this historic port city. La Lanterna has long been a source of inspiration for artists, photographers, and writers, and this photograph is a testament to its enduring allure. The lighthouse continues to stand as a beacon of hope and guidance, both for those at sea and for those who call Genoa home.
