EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Torre del Moro" (Moor Tower) in Orvieto takes us on a journey back in time to the Gothic era of the Middle Ages. This architectural marvel, located in Orvieto, Europe, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this ancient city. Dating back to the 13th or 14th century, this tower served multiple purposes throughout its existence. It was not only a symbol of power and strength but also played a vital role in commerce and trade during that period. The bustling market surrounding it tells tales of merchants and traders exchanging goods and creating economic prosperity for the region. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1950, we are transported to an era where intricate building elements and decorative sections were meticulously crafted by skilled artisans. The architecture reflects both grandeur and functionality, showcasing how houses were built during that time. This image captures more than just physical structures; it provides insights into urban life, social dynamics, society's political climate at that time. It reminds us that these towers acted as watchful guardians over cities like Orvieto while serving as instruments for measuring time with their prominent clocks. Fernando Pasta's lens has beautifully immortalized this historical landmark - Torre del Moro - highlighting its significance within European history from the first millennium through to modern times. Letting our eyes wander along the road avenue leading up to the tower evokes feelings of awe towards humanity's ability to create enduring structures capable of transcending centuries. This print is not just an artwork; it is a window into another world – one filled with mystery, wonderment, and stories waiting to be discovered by those who take a moment to appreciate its beauty.
