EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a small model of the Capitolium of Brescia, displayed at the Augustan Exhibition of Roman Culture in Rome during 1937-38. The plastic model, meticulously crafted to replicate the grandeur of its original counterpart, stands as a testament to the architectural marvels that adorned ancient Rome. The Capitolium was an important religious and civic center in Brescia, Italy, dating back to the years between 1911 and 1929. Its intricate arches, majestic columns, and ornate decorations are beautifully depicted in this snapshot. Every detail has been carefully preserved in this miniature masterpiece. Displayed within the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome during the exhibition's run, this small model undoubtedly captivated visitors with its exquisite craftsmanship. Today, it finds its home within the Museum of Roman Civilization in Rome—a fitting place for such an extraordinary work. The photograph itself is a stunning representation of both artistry and history. Alinari Fratelli skillfully captured not only the physical structure but also conveyed a sense of awe-inspiring beauty through their lens. The play between light and shadow accentuates every architectural element—architraves stretching gracefully overhead, stairs leading up towards unknown destinations—and draws viewers into a world long past. As we gaze upon this image today, we are transported back to ancient times when urban landscapes were adorned with magnificent structures like these. It serves as a reminder that even though centuries have passed since their creation, these works continue to inspire us with their timeless elegance. In essence, this photograph immortalizes both an exceptional piece of artistry by Alinari Fratelli and an enduring symbol of Roman civilization—the Small Model of the Capitolium from Brescia—an artifact that connects us directly to our rich historical heritage.
