EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate engraving by Andrea Bernieri, taken from Giulio Ferrario's "Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World" published in Florence in 1844, captures the awe-inspiring sight of The Roman Gate in Milan during the 1800s. Rebuilt in the 16th century by architect Leopoldo Polack, the gate is a significant historical landmark in the city. The Roman Gate, also known as Porta Romana di Milano, is a grand archway adorned with intricate carvings and insignia, symbolizing the rich history and heritage of Milan and Italy as a whole. The gate is depicted here with a large wheel-wagon or carroccio, a medieval military symbol, drawn by a group of militia men in full cavalry armour. The cattle, caparisoned and led by hand, add to the scene's authenticity, transporting us back in time to the medieval era. The Roman Gate was an essential part of the city's defences and served as a symbol of power and authority. The gate's heraldry, featuring the crest of Cremona, is proudly displayed on the archway, further emphasizing the connection between Milan and its surrounding regions. This exquisite illustration is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and historical accuracy that characterized Giulio Ferrario's work. The Costumes Ancient and Modern of the Peoples of the World was a groundbreaking publication, showcasing the diverse fashion and cultural traditions of various civilizations throughout history. This particular image of The Roman Gate in Milan offers a unique glimpse into the city's past, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance and the enduring allure of its rich heritage.
