EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the upper colonnade to the east of the Staglieno Monumental Cemetery in Genoa. Designed by renowned civic architect Giovan Battista Resasco, this neoclassical masterpiece stands as a testament to his artistic vision. The image transports us back to the 19th century, around 1890, when it was taken by photographer Brogi. The composition showcases Resasco's architectural brilliance, with its impressive columns, intricate building elements, and ornate decorations. The vaulted portico and gallery create a sense of elegance and sophistication that is characteristic of neoclassical design. Amidst this architectural splendor, we catch glimpses of statues adorning the colonnade. These sculptural works add an ethereal quality to the scene, evoking emotions and inviting contemplation within this sacred space. Nature intertwines harmoniously with man-made structures in this photograph. Vegetal elements such as vines and foliage gracefully frame the colonnade's entrance, adding a touch of serenity amidst stone and marble. As we admire this artwork captured on film over a century ago, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also its enduring beauty. This photograph allows us to appreciate Resasco's contribution to European architecture during both the first and second millenniums A. D. , showcasing his mastery in blending classical aesthetics with contemporary sensibilities. Brogi's skillful lens has immortalized this moment in time for future generations to marvel at Resasco's creation. It serves as a reminder that great art transcends time itself – inspiring awe even after more than a century has passed since its inception.
