EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the magnificent Monument of Erba di Savoldi e Borsani in the iconic Monumental Cemetery of Milan. The photograph, taken between 1875-1910, showcases the stunning architecture and intricate details of this monumental tomb. Created by artists Angelo Savoldi and Gian Battista Borsani between 1898-1910, this commemorative structure stands as a testament to their artistic prowess. Every element within the monument is meticulously crafted, from the inscription on its pilaster strip to the ornate decorations adorning its sections. The photograph allows us to appreciate the grandeur of this funerary monument. We can see a majestic door leading up a flight of stairs, with a tympanum above it displaying an exquisite low relief work. A small loggia adds an elegant touch to the overall design while a pyramid rises proudly at its center. Amidst lush vegetation including cypress trees and laurel wreaths lies a sculpture depicting a putto figure holding an object that symbolizes literature and fiction. This inclusion hints at the deceased's passion for storytelling or perhaps their involvement in literary pursuits during their lifetime. Brogi Giacomo's photography skillfully captures every detail, showcasing both the beauty of nature surrounding this tomb as well as highlighting each intricately carved statue and architectural feature. This print offers viewers an opportunity to admire not only Brogi Giacomo's talent but also serves as documentation of one of Milan's most remarkable funerary monuments. Its historical significance cannot be understated; it provides us with insight into past artistic styles while honoring those who have passed away in Milan throughout history.
