EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a serene moment of boating on the Tiber River in Rome, under the majestic bridge Emilio, now known as Ponte Rotto. The bridge connects the left bank of the river with a unique metal walkway supported by ropes, showcasing an innovative architectural feat for its time. In the background, we are treated to a glimpse of historical landmarks that make Rome so enchanting. The Temple of Hercules Victor, also referred to as the temple of Vesta, stands proudly amidst scaffolding used for construction work on the embankments. Its ancient beauty is juxtaposed against modern progress. Further adding to this rich tapestry is the fornix of Cloaca Maxima, an impressive structure associated with one of Rome's most important sewer systems. This amalgamation of monuments and complexes showcases Rome's deep-rooted history and archeological significance. The photograph was taken between 1880-1884 by Roesler Franz Ettore from Alinari. It beautifully captures not only these iconic sites but also provides us with a glimpse into daily life during that era. A small group can be seen aboard their boat, navigating through calm waters while enjoying the picturesque view around them. Transportation via waterways was crucial in ancient times and continues to be an integral part of Rome's landscape today. This image serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city life, there are moments where tranquility can still be found along its historic river courses. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where architecture meets nature and history intertwines with everyday life—a testament to both human ingenuity and Mother Nature's enduring beauty.
