EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Milan in the early 20th century. The focal point of the image is Via Dante, a renowned street named after the famous Italian poet Dante Alighieri. Stretching out before us, this vibrant avenue is lined with elegant buildings and adorned with intricate architectural details. In the background stands the majestic Sforzesco Castle Tower, an iconic symbol of Milan's rich history. Designed by Filarete, this medieval fortress exudes strength and grandeur against the city skyline. Its ashlar walls stand tall, telling tales of centuries past. As we explore further into this snapshot of urban life, our eyes are drawn to various elements that bring charm and character to this scene. A vintage street lamp illuminates the surroundings while providing a warm glow as day turns into night. Furnishings for civic spaces dotting the sidewalk invite weary travelers to rest their feet or engage in lively conversations. The photograph captures not only architectural marvels but also glimpses into daily life during that era. People dressed in fashionable attire stroll along Via Dante; men checking their pocket watches for accurate time measurement while women browse through shops displaying furniture and furnishings for both home and commercial use. A streetcar on its tracks adds movement to this still frame, showcasing one method of transportation available at that time. Flags flutter proudly atop buildings, representing national pride or perhaps marking a special occasion. Through Brogi's lens, we are transported back over a century ago when Milan was alive with activity and progress. This print serves as a visual testament to how architecture intertwines with everyday life - creating an enduring legacy that continues to shape cities around the world today.
