EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Admiral Bridge in Palermo" takes us back to the Middle Ages, offering a glimpse into the architectural marvels of Europe during the first and second millennium. The bridge, built in Norman style, stands as a testament to the ingenuity of its time. Dating back to 1113, this artwork by Giorgio D'Antiochia transports us to an era where structures like these were not only functional but also works of art. The intricate details and craftsmanship evident in every stone are awe-inspiring. In this particular scene captured between 1915-1920 by Brogi, we see more than just a bridge. It showcases a slice of country life with grazing goats peacefully roaming nearby. These terrestrial mammals add an element of tranquility against the backdrop of this industrial structure. As our eyes wander across the photograph, we can almost imagine hearing the sounds emanating from this bustling riverfront location - perhaps even catching sight of naval vessels passing under it for transportation purposes. The presence of a smokestack hints at further industrialization happening around that time period. It serves as a reminder that progress was being made while still preserving historical architecture. Alinari's print allows us to appreciate both nature and human innovation harmoniously coexisting within one frame. This timeless image invites contemplation on how societies have evolved over centuries while reminding us not to forget our roots or neglect our cultural heritage. "The Admiral Bridge in Palermo" is more than just a photograph; it encapsulates history frozen in time – an exquisite blend of artistry and documentation that continues to captivate viewers today.
