EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph, taken in 1898 by Manual Wielandt, captures the breathtaking beauty of Sestri Ponente, a coastal town located in the Liguria region of Italy. The image showcases the picturesque Italian scene with its crystal-clear blue waters, sandy beaches, and the imposing castle-like structure of the Santuario di Nostra Signora del Gazzo (Shrine of Our Lady of Mercy) in the background. The shrine, dedicated to the Madonna del Gazzo, is a popular pilgrimage site and a significant landmark of Sestri Ponente. The inset view of the shrine reveals its intricate details, including the ornate facade, tall bell tower, and the statue of the Madonna holding a parasol. The image also depicts a woman, dressed in the fashion of the late 1890s, enjoying the seafront with a parasol, adding a sense of tranquility and relaxation to the scene. The photograph, taken over a century ago, transports us back in time, allowing us to experience the timeless charm and allure of Italy's coastal towns. The combination of the natural beauty of the landscape and the cultural and religious significance of the shrine makes this image a true treasure for anyone with an appreciation for Italian history and art.
