EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Calogero, the Italo-Greek Hermit Monk of Mount Athos" This image depicts Calogero, an Italo-Greek hermit monk, residing on the sacred Mount Athos in Greece. Mount Athos, an Orthodox Christian monastic community, is located in northeastern Greece and is renowned for its rich history and spiritual significance. Calogero is shown in this 19th-century hand-colored copperplate engraving by Dell Acqua, as published in "Travels through Morea, Albania, and several other parts of the Ottoman Empire" by François Pouqueville. The illustration is part of the "Most Interesting Voyages" collection, curated by Giovanni Battista Sonzogno in Milan between 1815 and 1817. Calogero is portrayed in a humble setting, dressed in traditional monk's attire, with a long beard and a serene expression. He is shown sitting in a cave, surrounded by the natural beauty of the mountainous landscape. The image captures the essence of solitude and spiritual contemplation, which is a fundamental aspect of the monastic life on Mount Athos. Calogero's Italo-Greek heritage is significant, as Mount Athos has been a refuge for various Christian communities throughout history, including Italians, Greeks, and others. The monastic community on Mount Athos has continued to thrive, preserving ancient traditions and fostering spiritual growth for over a thousand years. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the life of a hermit monk on Mount Athos during the early 19th century, providing a window into the rich history and spiritual traditions of this remarkable place.
