EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-184596-0000" transports us back in time to the grandeur of Rome in the early 20th century. The focal point of the image is none other than the iconic National Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, also known as Altare della Patria or Mole del Vittoriano. Standing tall and proud against a backdrop of clear blue skies, this magnificent structure commands attention with its imposing presence. Captured between 1930 and 1940 by an unidentified author, this photograph showcases not only the monument itself but also offers glimpses into various elements that surround it. Lush trees and vibrant vegetation frame the scene, adding a touch of natural beauty to the urban landscape. The inclusion of excavations hints at ongoing archaeological work in progress nearby, reminding us of Rome's rich history. The monument's intricate architecture is highlighted through careful composition, emphasizing its grand columns and ornate details. A statue can be seen on one side, perhaps representing a significant figure from Italian history or mythology. This sculpture adds depth and character to an already impressive sight. Intriguingly enough, amidst all this architectural splendor lies a bustling street scene filled with people going about their daily lives. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder that while monuments like these stand as symbols of national pride and heritage, life continues unabated around them. Overall, this print captures both the magnificence of Rome's historic architecture and the vibrancy of everyday city life during that era. It allows us to appreciate not only Giuseppe Sacconi's artistic vision but also provides valuable insight into how these monumental structures coexist within their urban surroundings throughout time.
