EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of "The equestrian monument to Ferdinand of Savoy, Duke of Genoa" in all its glory. Standing tall in Piazza Solferino in Turin, Italy, this magnificent sculpture by Alfonso Balzico is a testament to the rich history and nobility of Europe. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the majestic horse that carries Ferdinand of Savoy on its back. With its muscular physique and regal stance, it exudes power and grace. The attention to detail in capturing every muscle and sinew is remarkable, showcasing the artist's skillful craftsmanship. Ferdinand himself sits proudly atop his steed, embodying strength and authority. Dressed in noble attire with a shield emblem prominently displayed, he represents the aristocracy that once ruled over these lands. This artwork serves as a reminder of Italy's national revolutions and the risorgimento movement during the 19th-20th century. Surrounded by historical buildings dating back centuries, this equestrian monument becomes an integral part of Turin's landscape. It stands as a symbol not only for Italian heritage but also for European history as a whole. The vintage quality of this photograph adds an air of nostalgia, transporting us back to 1890 when it was taken by Brogi. It allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind Balzico's creation and how it has stood against time throughout different eras. As we gaze upon this print from Alinari, we are reminded that art has no expiration date; it continues to inspire generations long after its creation.
