EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Brescia during the Middle Ages. The focal point of this image is the majestic Torre della Pallata, a towering structure that stands as a testament to Europe's rich architectural heritage. Built in 1248, this medieval tower exudes an air of grandeur with its sturdy stone walls and intricate crenelation. Its corbelled windows offer a glimpse into the past, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship that went into creating such monumental structures. As we gaze at this photograph captured between 1915-1920, we are reminded of how time has shaped our world. The presence of a watch or clock instrument within the frame serves as a reminder that measuring time has always been crucial for human civilization. Beyond the tower itself, we catch glimpses of bustling streets and urban life from centuries ago. This view offers us a unique perspective on how Brescia once appeared - narrow cobblestone streets winding through ancient houses and buildings. The inclusion of furnishings for civic spaces adds depth to this scene, reminding us that even in medieval times, public spaces were adorned with furniture and decorations meant to enhance their beauty. Alinari Fratelli's skillful composition captures not only the physical elements but also evokes emotions tied to nostalgia and wonderment. It allows us to immerse ourselves in history while appreciating Europe's enduring architectural marvels. This print is more than just an artwork; it is a portal through which we can explore different eras and experience firsthand how civilizations have evolved over time.
