EDITORS COMMENTS
MFC-F-001726-0000 captures a timeless moment in the heart of Milan, showcasing the magnificent Piazza del Duomo. This vintage photograph, taken around 1932, transports us back to an era where horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles coexisted on bustling city streets. The focal point of this print is the awe-inspiring facade of the church dominating the frame with its grandeur. The intricate details and architectural mastery are evident as we admire every sculpted element that adorns this religious structure. To the left, we catch a glimpse of the iconic arches of Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, inviting passersby into its elegant corridors. In contrast to these monumental landmarks lies an unexpected surprise - a view from behind reveals the imposing equestrian monument dedicated to Victor Emmanuel II. This commemorative statue pays tribute to Italy's first king and adds another layer of historical significance to this already captivating scene. As our eyes wander through this snapshot frozen in time, we notice various elements that bring life to Milan's urban landscape. A street lamp gracefully illuminates the surroundings while people go about their daily activities – walking along cobblestone paths or perhaps engaging in animated conversations. This artwork was skillfully captured by Giuseppe Mengoni during his years between 1865 and 1877 when he beautifully documented Milan's architectural wonders. Now preserved for generations to come, it serves as a testament to both artistic talent and historical preservation. Fernando Pasta has carefully curated this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, allowing us all to appreciate not only Milan's rich heritage but also how architecture can shape a cityscape over time.
