EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "View of Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and Corso di Porta Venezia in Milan" transports us back to the bustling streets of early 20th century Italy. Taken between 1915 and 1920 by Alinari, Fratelli, this snapshot captures a vibrant moment in time. The image showcases the intersection of two prominent thoroughfares in Milan: Corso Vittorio Emanuele II and Corso di Porta Venezia. The city's rich history is palpable as we take in the architectural marvels lining these grand avenues. From elegant churches to majestic obelisk columns, every structure seems to tell a story. The scene is alive with activity - people going about their daily lives, traversing the streets on foot or horse-drawn carriages. The presence of business signs reminds us that commerce thrived even then, contributing to Milan's reputation as an economic powerhouse. As our gaze extends beyond the immediate foreground, we catch glimpses of furniture and furnishings adorning civic spaces along the way. These elements add a touch of elegance amidst the urban landscape. A workyard nearby hints at ongoing construction projects that were shaping the city's future. Transportation plays a significant role in this photograph too; from naval vessels sailing down rivers to coaches navigating roads by land. This diverse range of transportation methods underscores Milan's importance as a hub for trade and travel during this era. Alinari skillfully captures not just a view but also an essence - one that encapsulates both historical significance and everyday life within its frame. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let it serve as a reminder of how cities evolve over time while retaining their unique charm and character.
