EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of old-world charm in Florence. The focal point is none other than the iconic Savoy Hotel, standing tall at the corner of Via degli Speziali in Piazza della Repubblica. Dating back to around 1900, this image takes us on a journey through time. The grandeur of the hotel's architecture is beautifully showcased against the backdrop of bustling city life. A vintage street lamp adds a touch of nostalgia to the scene, casting a warm glow upon the cobblestone streets below. The urban setting comes alive with people going about their daily activities, creating an atmosphere filled with energy and movement. Adjacent to the Savoy Hotel stands "Pastry Luigi Gilli" a renowned coffee shop that has stood its ground for generations. Its presence adds another layer of authenticity to this snapshot from history. One can almost imagine the aroma of freshly baked pastries wafting through the air as patrons indulge in their morning rituals. The composition expertly frames both structures within its boundaries, giving equal importance to each element present. This balanced approach highlights not only their individual significance but also their harmonious coexistence within Florence's vibrant landscape. As we gaze upon this print by Brogi from Alinari, we are transported back in time, experiencing firsthand what life was like during this era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst progress and change, certain landmarks remain steadfast symbols of tradition and heritage. This photograph invites us to appreciate not just architectural beauty but also cultural richness – reminding us why Florence continues to captivate visitors from all corners of the globe.
