EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the equestrian monument to Victor Emmanuel II, proudly standing in Piazza Corvetto in Genoa. The date of this remarkable snapshot is estimated to be around 1890, a time when architecture and sculpture were celebrated as symbols of power and national identity. The imposing equestrian statue dominates the frame, depicting Italy's first king astride his noble steed. The intricate details of the monument showcase the craftsmanship involved in its creation, from the delicate folds of Victor Emmanuel II's clothing to the majestic pose of his horse. This commemorative structure serves as a reminder of Italy's unification under one monarchy. Surrounding this magnificent work are elements that add depth and context to the scene. A street lamp stands tall beside it, illuminating not only physical space but also symbolizing enlightenment and progress. Flowerbeds adorn the square, adding a touch of natural beauty amidst an urban landscape. Intriguingly, both male and female figures can be seen strolling past this iconic landmark. Their attire reflects fashion trends prevalent during that era – long skirts for women and tailored suits for men – providing a glimpse into daily life at that time. Beyond capturing architectural marvels like this equestrian monument, Brogi's photograph offers us a panoramic view of Genoa itself. It showcases rooftops stretching towards distant horizons while emphasizing how such monumental structures shape cityscapes. Alinari has masterfully preserved this historical moment through their print; allowing viewers today to appreciate not only its aesthetic qualities but also reflect upon Italy's rich cultural heritage embedded within these streetscapes.
