EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing stretch of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II in Turin, Italy. Taken between 1900 and 1910, the image showcases the architectural splendor and bustling energy of this vibrant city street. From this vantage point, one can admire the side view of the magnificent Porta Nuova Station, an iconic landmark that stands as a testament to Turin's rich history. The window frames in the foreground add depth to the composition while drawing our attention to the intricate building elements and decorations that adorn each structure along this grand avenue. The architecture exudes elegance and charm, reflecting a bygone era when attention to detail was paramount. Intriguingly, an equestrian monument takes center stage within this snapshot. A commemorative symbol standing tall amidst its urban surroundings evokes a sense of pride and reverence for past achievements. The presence of railway tracks near Porta Nuova Station hints at Turin's significance as a hub for transportation during that time period. This dynamic element adds action to an otherwise static scene, reminding us of how integral railways were in shaping cities like Turin into thriving metropolises. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time - immersed in a lively street scene where people bustle about their daily lives against the backdrop of stunning architecture. Through Brogi's lens, we gain not only a glimpse into early 20th-century Turin but also an appreciation for its enduring beauty and timeless allure.
