EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of Porta Felice in Palermo, a city gate that stands as a testament to the Late Renaissance, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods. The image takes us back to 1898 when this architectural marvel was photographed by Alinari, Fratelli. Porta Felice is adorned with intricate details and exudes an air of grandeur. Its elegant design showcases the artistic mastery of Smiriglio, Mariano, Novelli Pietro, and Tedeschi Vincenzo - the talented artists who contributed their skills to its creation in 1582. This gateway serves not only as an entrance but also as a commemorative structure that pays homage to Palermo's rich history. The photograph offers a glimpse into daily life during this era. The bustling street scene features various elements such as fountains, urban furnishings for civic spaces, street lamps, columns, and other decorative building elements. It portrays a vibrant cityscape where coaches traverse the roads alongside carts and wheelbarrows. As we immerse ourselves in this snapshot from the past, we can't help but appreciate how transportation methods have evolved over time. The presence of horse-drawn carriages highlights how land travel was once reliant on these magnificent creatures. Moreover, this image provides us with an enchanting view of Palermo itself – its architecture reflecting both renaissance charm and European influences. We are transported back through centuries as we witness glimpses of Europe's first and second millenniums within these ancient walls. Alinari's photography allows us to admire every detail captured within this frame – from the ornate structures to the everyday scenes unfolding before our eyes. It reminds us that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to preserving history for generations to come.
