EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Asti, Italy. The focal point of this image is the majestic Troyana Tower, a true testament to Romanesque architecture that has withstood the test of time. Built during the Middle Ages, this fortified tower stands tall as a symbol of Europe's rich history. Its sturdy structure and military design elements remind us of an era when defensive structures were essential for protection against invaders. The photograph was taken between 1915-1920 by Alinari, Fratelli, capturing every intricate detail of this architectural masterpiece. From its elegant window arches to its decorative crenelations along the top, each element tells a story about the craftsmanship and skill that went into creating such an awe-inspiring structure. As we gaze upon this artwork from the XIII century, we are reminded of how far humanity has come since then. It serves as a reminder that even in our modern world filled with skyscrapers and advanced technology, there is still beauty and significance in ancient landmarks like Troyana Tower. The two-light windows add a touch of elegance to this fortress-like tower while allowing natural light to filter through. The string course running along its exterior adds depth and character to an already impressive facade. Alinari's photograph not only captures the physical attributes but also evokes emotions associated with European history from both first and second millennium A. D. . It invites us on a journey through time where we can appreciate the ingenuity behind these architectural wonders. Let this print serve as a reminder that our past shapes our present and future - it is up to us to preserve these remarkable pieces of history for generations yet unborn.
