EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remnants of a once majestic viaduct near Capranica, Italy. Built during the reign of Pope Pius VI, this monumental structure stood proudly on the road to Sutri, serving as a testament to human ingenuity and architectural brilliance. However, time has taken its toll on this engineering marvel, leaving it mostly destroyed in present times. The photograph showcases the intricate details of this viaduct's arcade, building elements, and decorative sections. Each fragment tells a story of grandeur that has now faded into history. The bridge itself served as a vital lifeline for transportation, connecting distant lands and facilitating trade between communities. Surrounded by breathtaking landscapes consisting of farmland and countryside vistas, this viaduct was not only functional but also added an aesthetic charm to its surroundings. Its presence must have been awe-inspiring for those who embarked on trips through these picturesque terrains. As we gaze upon this image captured between 1915-1920 by Brogi from Alinari studios, we are reminded of the impermanence of man-made structures against the forces of nature and time. Despite its current state of ruin, this photograph serves as a poignant reminder that even in destruction lies beauty. Let us appreciate the legacy left behind by such architectural wonders while pondering their significance in our modern world. This print invites us to reflect on our own mortality and how fleeting our achievements can be when faced with the passage of time.
