EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and historical significance of The Church of St. Babila in Milan and the Column of the Lion. Standing tall amidst the bustling Piazza San Babila, this architectural marvel showcases a harmonious blend of Revival styles from the 19th century. The church itself dates back to the XI century, with its construction spanning several centuries until its completion in 1610. Its facade is adorned with intricate decorations and sections that epitomize European architecture during that era. The imposing column adjacent to it adds an air of majesty to the scene, featuring a magnificent sculpture atop depicting a powerful lion. Alinari's expert lens transports us back to approximately 1910 when this photograph was taken, capturing not only the beauty of these structures but also providing us with a glimpse into daily life during that time period. The street scene surrounding them reveals glimpses of urban life, showcasing furnishings for civic spaces and business signs adorning nearby establishments. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from history, we can't help but appreciate how architecture serves as both an instrument for communication and a testament to human creativity throughout different centuries. This image encapsulates not just buildings but also tells stories about religious devotion, cultural heritage, and societal progress. Alinari's skillful composition allows us to witness firsthand how Milan has evolved over time while still preserving its rich historical roots. It reminds us that even as cities grow and change around them, iconic landmarks like The Church of St. Babila continue standing strong as witnesses to our shared pasts.
