EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy. The focal point of the image is the majestic belltower of the Badia Fiorentina, rising proudly against a backdrop that includes the iconic Bargello tower. The photograph, taken around 1960, showcases Arnolfo di Cambio's architectural masterpiece dating back to 1299-1315. Di Cambio, an esteemed artist documented from 1265 until his probable death in 1302, left an indelible mark on this Gothic structure. Every element of this building exudes history and grandeur - from its pilaster strip adorned with intricate decorations to its imposing doors and windows. The roofline features crenelations while ashlar stones create a sturdy foundation for this administrative marvel. In addition to showcasing remarkable architecture, this photo also captures the vibrant atmosphere of Piazza della Signoria itself. Christian symbolism is evident through various statues dotting the square – their equestrian monuments serving as commemorative reminders of Florence's rich religious heritage. As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, it becomes apparent that Piazza della Signoria was not just a place for administrative affairs but also a hub for urban life. The presence of automobiles hints at modernity creeping into centuries-old streets. Balocchi Vincenzo skillfully captured all these elements within one frame – transporting us back to a bygone era where Gothic structures dominated skylines and transportation evolved alongside society. This print serves as both a testament to human ingenuity throughout different epochs and an invitation to immerse ourselves in Florence's enchanting past.
