EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-000683-0000", transports us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing the timeless beauty of Castel S. Angelo in Rome. The image showcases the magnificent castle standing proudly against a backdrop of clear blue skies, with Ponte S. Angelo gracefully spanning over the Tiber River. Dating back to around 123-139 AD, this architectural marvel has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its walls. Originally built as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian and his family, it later served as a fortress and papal residence. Its imposing structure stands as a testament to Roman engineering prowess. The photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details of this historic landmark - from its sturdy stone walls adorned with statues depicting angels holding various objects, including clocks and watches; symbols that remind us of its non-Christian origins as a funerary monument. As we gaze at this remarkable composition by Compagnia Fotografica from Alinari, we are reminded not only of the grandeur of Castel S. Angelo but also how it played an essential role in naval transportation along the river throughout history. This print serves as both a visual feast for architecture enthusiasts and an intriguing glimpse into Rome's rich past. It captures not just bricks and mortar but also evokes emotions tied to heritage, power, and human ingenuity that have shaped our world today.
