EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Monument to Ferdinand of Savoy, Duke of Genoa" transports us back in time to the bustling Piazza Solferino in Turin. Taken between 1940-1950 by an unidentified author, it showcases Alfonso Balzico's remarkable sculpture that pays homage to the renowned Duke. The monument stands tall and proud against the backdrop of a vibrant city square. Its intricate details are beautifully captured in this image, allowing us to appreciate Balzico's craftsmanship. The imposing figure of Ferdinand on horseback dominates the scene, exuding power and nobility. The magnificent horse is depicted mid-stride with its head held high, showcasing its strength and grace. It symbolizes not only Ferdinand's affinity for equestrian pursuits but also his status as a prominent male figure within Italian history. A person can be seen standing next to the statue, providing scale and emphasizing its grandeur. This inclusion reminds us that monuments like these serve as reminders of historical events and individuals who have shaped our world. Surrounded by elements such as shields, crests, and emblems representing royal imperial nobility, this artwork reflects Italy's rich heritage during a period marked by national revolutions and the Risorgimento movement. Located in Turin's Piazza Solferino - a hub of activity where contemporary nations' histories intersected - this monument holds significance beyond its artistic value. It represents an era when populations fought for their territories' independence while striving for unity under one nation. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph print from Alinari archives, we are transported back to 1877 when Balzico first unveiled his masterpiece. Through this visual window into history, we gain insight into Italy's past struggles and triumphs while marveling at the enduring beauty created by human hands.
