EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-000930-0000" transports us back in time to the late 19th century, offering a glimpse into the architectural wonders of Florence. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, its grand facade dominating the frame with an air of magnificence. Standing proudly on the right side is a partial view of another iconic religious structure - the Baptistry of San Giovanni. Captured between 1880 and 1900 by photographers Luigi del Moro and Emilio De Fabris, this artwork showcases their keen eye for detail and composition. The Cathedral itself was constructed between 1871 and 1887, making it relatively new at the time this photograph was taken. Its intricate Gothic design is beautifully highlighted against a backdrop that reveals snippets of Florentine street life. The inclusion of a street scene adds an element of action to this otherwise static portrayal. A solitary street lamp stands tall in front, casting long shadows on cobblestone streets below. It serves as a reminder that while history unfolds within these ancient walls, life outside continues to evolve. Through Brogi's lens from Alinari, we are transported to Florence - a city steeped in rich cultural heritage where every corner holds stories waiting to be discovered. This print not only captures an exquisite architectural marvel but also offers us a window into daily life during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, our imagination takes flight as we envision ourselves strolling through those very streets over a century ago – immersed in both awe-inspiring beauty and everyday hustle bustle alike.
