EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as the renowned archaeologist Giovanni Battista de Rossi leads Pope Pius IX on a visit to the newly discovered crypt of the Popes. Taken in 1852, this illustration by Damblans beautifully depicts the awe-inspiring scene that unfolded deep within the catacombs of ancient Rome. Giovanni Battista de Rossi, known for his groundbreaking work in uncovering archaeological treasures, stands tall and confident beside Pope Pius IX. With his extensive knowledge and expertise, he guides the pontiff through this hidden underground world filled with centuries-old secrets. The expressions on their faces reveal a sense of wonderment and reverence as they explore these sacred chambers. The dimly lit passageways are adorned with intricate carvings and ancient relics, testaments to a rich history that had long been forgotten. As Pope Pius IX walks alongside de Rossi, one can only imagine the thoughts running through his mind - perhaps reflecting on the significance of this discovery or contemplating how it will shape future understanding of Rome's past. This engraving by Stefano Bianchetti not only captures an extraordinary moment but also serves as a reminder of humanity's unending quest for knowledge and connection to our ancestors. It is an image that speaks volumes about our fascination with history and our relentless pursuit to unravel its mysteries.
