EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white Victorian lantern slide depicts the Chapel of Saint Rosalie, nestled at the foot of Monte Pellegrino in Palermo, Sicily. Saint Rosalie, a revered figure in Sicilian folklore, is said to have lived as a hermit in the caves of this mountain during the 14th century. The saint's life was marked by numerous miracles, the most famous of which was the end of the devastating plague that ravaged Palermo in 1624. The Chapel of Saint Rosalie, a testament to her enduring legacy, is a popular pilgrimage site for locals and tourists alike. The chapel's simple yet elegant architecture, with its arched entrance and intricate stonework, stands in stark contrast to the rugged terrain of Monte Pellegrino. The image captures the chapel's timeless beauty, transporting us back to the late 1800s and the rich history of Sicily. The island of Sicily, located in the Mediterranean Sea, has a rich and complex history, with influences from Greek, Roman, Arab, and Norman cultures. This lantern slide, part of Box 106 entitled "Sicily," dated circa 1890s, offers a glimpse into the past, providing us with a window into the Italian island's fascinating history and the stories of its beloved saints like Saint Rosalie.
