EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of Piazza del Duomo in Pistoia. Standing proudly at the heart of this historic Italian city, the Baptistery, bell tower, and Cathedral dominate the scene with their magnificent Romanesque architecture. Dating back to the 9th to 13th centuries, these structures are a testament to Europe's rich medieval heritage. To the right of this bustling square stands Palazzo Pretorio, now serving as a courthouse. Its grandeur adds an air of authority and significance to this already awe-inspiring setting. The juxtaposition between religious and judicial institutions creates an intriguing contrast that reflects both past and present influences on society. The image itself was captured around 1890 by Brogi from Alinari, showcasing his exceptional talent for capturing architectural details and urban scenes. Through his lens, we are transported back in time to witness a vibrant street scene filled with life and activity. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, our eyes are drawn not only to the impressive buildings but also to the intricate bowing elements adorning them. These decorative features serve as a reminder of the craftsmanship that went into creating such masterpieces during those ancient times. This photograph is more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates history within its frame. It invites us to explore Pistoia's rich cultural tapestry while marveling at its enduring beauty through centuries past.
