EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting beauty of Piazza Malpighi in Bologna, Italy. The focal point is the magnificent church of S. Francesco, seen from a unique perspective at its back. Standing tall and proud, this Romanesque masterpiece showcases architectural elements that date back to the Middle Ages. In the background, on the left side of the frame, we are greeted by the column of the Madonna Immaculate. This iconic structure adds an air of spirituality to this bustling square. Its presence reminds us of Bologna's rich Christian heritage and religious significance. The photograph itself was taken around 1900, providing us with a glimpse into a bygone era while capturing timeless elements that have stood for centuries. The artwork depicted in this image dates all the way back to 1244, showcasing remarkable longevity and historical importance. As we explore this print further, our eyes are drawn to various building elements and decorations adorning both structures within view.
