EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ex-voto (ex voto) Sicilian: 'By miracle, Carabinier Lanza saves Count Magri on 24/05/1867'" transports us back to a moment of intense drama and heroism in Sicily during the 19th century. The image depicts a representation of brigandage, where a robber menacingly points his pistol at the Magri couple while they are caught off guard. However, just as danger looms over them, Carabinier Lanza emerges from behind to surprise the attacker and potentially save their lives. The artist from the Sicilian School skillfully captures this pivotal moment with great attention to detail and emotion. The composition highlights the contrast between violence and salvation, showcasing both human vulnerability and courage. The ex-voto itself serves as an expression of gratitude for divine intervention that allowed Count Magri's life to be spared through this miraculous act. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the social dynamics of aristocratic society in Italy during that era. It reflects not only on individual acts of bravery but also on broader themes such as religion, community solidarity, and societal challenges like brigandage. Giancarlo Costa's masterful photography preserves this historical event for generations to come, reminding us of our shared past and inviting contemplation about how it has shaped our present-day society.
