EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur of the equestrian monument to Ferdinand of Savoy, Duke of Genoa, in Piazza Solferino in Turin. Standing tall on a high massive pedestal adorned with intricate bas-reliefs and family coats of arms, the statue commands attention and reverence. In this snapshot frozen in time from around 1870-1890, two men lean casually against the fence that encircles the majestic monument. Their presence adds a touch of human connection amidst the regal atmosphere. The artist behind this masterpiece is Alfonso Balzico, who skillfully captured every detail with his lens in 1877. The photograph showcases not only his technical prowess but also his ability to convey a sense of history and significance through visual storytelling. Located in Turin's bustling Piazza Solferino, this iconic sculpture represents more than just an artistic creation; it symbolizes Italy's rich heritage and its struggle for national unity during times of revolution and risorgimento. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era when horses were not merely means of transportation but revered companions. The noble steed depicted here exudes strength and grace as it carries Ferdinand into history books. This remarkable print by an unidentified author is part of Alinari's collection - a treasure trove documenting Italy's cultural legacy. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time, allowing us glimpses into moments long gone while preserving their essence for generations to come.
