Lourdes, circa 1957-1959
gelatin silver print
photographer's credit stamp and stamped poem: "Perch Esistono ruote che vanno su strade diverse, tutte alla ricerca del senso della vita. Trovi la speranza dove c' il dolore e quella che par gioia lascia la bocca amara. Forse la vita vera l, dove il dolore di ognuno tanto grande che non basta la vita del mondo a viverlo tutto." (Why there are wheels that go on different roads, all in search for the meaning of life. You find hope where there is pain and what appears to be joy leaves the mouth bitter. Maybe the real life is there, where the pain of each is so great that is not enough, the life of the world to live it all.') (verso)
