EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the Monument to Battista Perasso, also known as the "Balilla" in Piazza Portoria, Genoa. The monument stands tall and proud, a testament to the historical significance of its subject. Battista Perasso was a member of the Italian Fascist Movement during the 19th century. This equestrian statue commemorates his role in shaping Italy's political landscape during that time. Created by artist Vincenzo Giani in 1863, it showcases intricate details and craftsmanship characteristic of 19th-century European arts and handicrafts. The photograph itself was taken around 1900 by Brogi Giacomo from Stabilimento fotografico Alinari. It beautifully captures not only the monument but also highlights various architectural elements surrounding it. As we examine this image closely, we can appreciate how every part of Perasso's body is meticulously sculpted - from his expressive face down to his fingers gripping tightly onto the reins. His noble steed exudes strength and determination as they stand frozen in time. This print serves as a reminder of an important era in Italian history while showcasing both artistic excellence and historical preservation. It allows us to reflect on our past, acknowledging both positive contributions and controversial aspects such as fascism. While appreciating this artwork, let us remember that art has always been intertwined with society's values and beliefs throughout different centuries. By observing these monuments with critical eyes, we gain insight into our collective history while fostering discussions about social progress for future generations.
