The cortile, or courtyard, is a space that holds countless stories within its walls. From Napolitano's mysterious abduction to the captivating Sphere Within Sphere sculpture by Arnaldo Pomodoro, these courtyards have witnessed it all. In the heart of Vatican City lies the Cortile del Belvedere, a black and white photograph capturing its timeless beauty. This courtyard has seen centuries of history unfold before its very eyes. Traveling to Ferrara, Italy, we find ourselves in the Courtyard of the Palazzo Costabile. Also known as Ludovico il Moro's palace, this enchanting courtyard takes us back to 1900-1910 with its stunning architecture. Moving on to Trieste, we discover the Monument of Supplizio inside Barracks Oberdan's courtyard. A haunting reminder of past struggles and sacrifices made for freedom during 1920-1930. Returning to Rome once again, we explore Museo Nazionale's cortile through a black and white photograph. Its grandeur leaves us in awe as we imagine walking through its corridors filled with ancient treasures. Lucca presents us with Cortile degli Svizzeri inside Palazzo Ducale - an exquisite gem captured in an album dedicated to Lucca's main monuments from 1880-1890. The intricate details tell tales of opulence and power. Bologna offers multiple glimpses into its rich history through various courtyards such as Palazzo Legnani Pizzardi and Archiginnasio. These cobbled spaces transport us back to c1870 when Bologna was at its peak splendor. Lastly, we venture beyond Italy's borders into Alhambra Palace where Court of Lions awaits our arrival. An architectural marvel from the 18th century adorned with majestic lion sculptures that symbolize strength and nobility. These cortiles hold secrets untold yet whisper their stories through time-worn walls.
