EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic Porta Settimiana, a gateway that stands as a testament to Rome's rich history. Reconstructed in 1498 by Alessandro VI, this architectural marvel was designed to facilitate faster traffic movement into the Vatican territory. The Via della Scala City Gate showcases elements of both Renaissance and Renaissance-Baroque styles, reflecting Europe's artistic evolution during the first and second millenniums. The photograph itself was taken in 1960, providing us with a glimpse into the past while highlighting an artwork dating back over four centuries earlier. Alinari, Fratelli masterfully captured every intricate detail of this historical site - from its arches and building elements to its decorative cornice and crenelation. In this bustling street scene, we witness not only the grandeur of Porta Settimiana but also glimpses of everyday life at that time. A motorbike speeds along the road adjacent to the gateway, showcasing modern transportation juxtaposed against ancient architecture. Uniformed military personnel can be seen nearby, adding an air of authority and emphasizing the gate's military and defensive significance throughout history. As our eyes wander beyond Porta Settimiana's imposing structure, we are treated to a breathtaking view of Rome itself. This panoramic vista offers a unique perspective on one of Europe's most iconic cities during both renaissance periods - an era characterized by remarkable cultural achievements. Alinari has skillfully combined artistry with documentation in this photograph print – capturing not just physical structures but also conveying action within its frame. Through their lens, they transport us back in time to experience firsthand how Rome evolved through different epochs while preserving traces from each period for generations to come.
