EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the majestic Vanvitelliana Mole, also known as Lazaretto, a remarkable construction by Luigi Vanvitelli in Ancona. The image showcases the low pentagonal building that served both sanitary and defensive purposes during its existence. Built in the eighteenth century, this Renaissance-Baroque masterpiece stands tall against the backdrop of Ancona Hospital. Its architectural brilliance is evident as it seamlessly blends into its surroundings while exuding an air of grandeur. This structure played a crucial role in Europe's history during the first and second millenniums. The photograph itself was captured around 1890, allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era where transportation relied heavily on port facilities like this one. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and engineering prowess of that time. As we delve deeper into the frame, our eyes are drawn towards the quarantine station situated nearby. This medical facility played an essential role in safeguarding public health during times of disease outbreaks or pandemics. The landscape surrounding this historical site is nothing short of breathtaking. With water stretching out before it, this scene evokes a sense of tranquility mixed with awe-inspiring beauty. Brogi's masterful photography skills have immortalized this momentous piece of architecture for generations to come. Through his lens, he captures not just bricks and mortar but also emotions tied to centuries-old stories waiting to be unraveled. This print from Alinari transports us back through time; it invites us to appreciate not only the physical structure but also its cultural significance within European history.
