EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Christmas in Italy, as it showcases the iconic "Madonnina" statue perched atop Milan's Cathedral. The image was taken on December 7,2016, on the eve of the Immaculate Conception, a significant public holiday in Italy. Photographer Giuseppe Cacace skillfully portrays both religious and festive elements within this horizontal frame. The focal point of the photograph is undoubtedly the Madonnina herself - a representation of Virgin Mary that has become an emblematic symbol for Milan. Standing tall against a clear blue sky, she exudes grace and serenity while overlooking the bustling city below. Her presence evokes a sense of divine protection and guidance during this sacred time. Adding to the enchantment are vibrant Christmas decorations adorning buildings nearby. Twinkling lights illuminate streets lined with garlands and wreaths, infusing warmth into Milan's wintry atmosphere. This harmonious blend between religious devotion and joyful festivities exemplifies how Italians celebrate their faith during Christmastime. Giuseppe Cacace's expert composition allows viewers to immerse themselves in this magical scene, inviting contemplation and reflection upon both spiritual beliefs and cultural traditions associated with Christmas in Italy. As an AFP photojournalist, Cacace adeptly captures moments that encapsulate stories beyond words alone – his work serves as a visual testament to our shared human experiences across borders and cultures.
