EDITORS COMMENTS
The equestrian monument to Ferdinand, Duke of Genoa, stands proudly in the heart of Turin's Piazza Solferino. Designed by the talented artist Alfonso Balzico in 1877, this magnificent sculpture captures the essence of power and nobility. In this photograph taken in 1932 by Anderson from Alinari, we are transported back to a time when horseback riding was not only a means of transportation but also a symbol of status. The majestic male horse is portrayed with grace and strength as it carries its rider through history. The Duke himself sits tall and regal on his noble steed, embodying the spirit of Italy's rich past. His portrait exudes confidence and authority, reflecting his role as an influential figure during Europe's transformative nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Adorned with a shield crest emblematic of his family lineage, Ferdinand represents the aristocracy that shaped European territories throughout history. This artwork serves as a reminder of national revolutions and Italy's risorgimento movement towards unification. As we gaze upon this remarkable print captured almost a century ago, we cannot help but marvel at the intricate details meticulously crafted by Balzico. Every line tells a story; every stroke evokes emotion. This photograph transports us back in time to witness firsthand an era where horses were revered companions for those who held power. It reminds us that art has the power to transcend time – allowing us to connect with historical figures like Ferdinand while appreciating their contributions to our contemporary world.
