EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-A-004684-0003" takes us back in time to the early 20th century. The album, "Some types of reinforced concrete constructions carried out by Ing. H. Bollinger - via Principe Umberto 7 Milano" provides a glimpse into the remarkable work of engineer H. Bollinger. The image showcases an external view of the power plant of San Paolo in Rome, circa 1910. The power station stands tall and imposing, its industrial structure dominating the landscape. A prominent smokestack releases billowing clouds into the sky, symbolizing the energy being harnessed within. In the foreground, we see a track used for trolleys' passage, adding movement and life to this scene frozen in time. Several men are present on-site, their presence animating the photograph with their purposeful actions and dedication to their craft. This photograph captures not only an architectural marvel but also represents an era when electricity was transforming industries and societies worldwide. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and technological progress during that period. Although we do not know who specifically captured this momentous image from Alinari's collection, it is evident that they possessed both skill and artistry behind the lens. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, let us appreciate how far we have come since those early days of electric power generation while acknowledging our debt to visionaries like Ing. H. Bollinger for shaping our modern world through innovative engineering feats such as these reinforced concrete constructions.
