EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a glimpse of history frozen in time. The House of Cola di Rienzo or of the Crescenzi, located on via the Shelter in Rome, is showcased here with all its grandeur. A relic from the Middle Ages, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to the rich heritage that Europe holds. Although today this road no longer exists, we are fortunate enough to witness its splendor through this remarkable print. Taken around 1880-1890 by photographer Roesler Franz Ettore, it offers us a window into a bygone era. The tower house dominates the frame with its imposing presence. Its sturdy structure speaks volumes about the craftsmanship and skill that went into creating such masterpieces during those times. Every intricate detail seems to come alive under Franz Ettore's lens – from the delicate sculptures adorning its façade to the mesmerizing frieze that tells stories of ancient legends. As we gaze upon this photograph, we can't help but be transported back in time – imagining knights and nobles traversing these very streets centuries ago. It serves as a reminder of how far humanity has come while also highlighting our deep-rooted connection to our past. Let us cherish this artwork for what it truly represents: an ode to history and architecture's enduring legacy. May it inspire future generations to appreciate and preserve these treasures from yesteryears for years to come.
