EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "CAD-S-050013-0007" transports us back to the bustling St. Peter's Square in Rome on a sunny day. The year is 1932, and the square is teeming with life and activity. In the foreground of the image stands a magnificent fountain, an exquisite creation by Carlo Fontana. The artist behind this remarkable photograph is Aurelio Monteverde from Alinari, who skillfully captures the essence of this iconic location. The date of the artwork itself dates back even further to 1677 when it was designed by two renowned architects: Maderno Carlo and Bernini Gian Lorenzo. Located within the State of Vatican City, St. Peter's Square is not just any ordinary square; it holds immense historical and religious significance for Catholics worldwide. Its grand colonnade surrounds visitors as they marvel at its architectural beauty while taking in breathtaking views of both ancient structures and modern cityscapes. In this particular snapshot, we witness a vibrant street scene unfolding before our eyes - people going about their daily lives amidst such awe-inspiring surroundings. From tourists capturing memories to locals engaged in animated conversations, there is an undeniable energy that fills every corner of this extraordinary place. Monteverde's composition perfectly encapsulates all these elements - architecture, action, decoration - creating a visual feast for viewers like us today. As we gaze upon this timeless piece captured almost nine decades ago, we can't help but feel connected to those who stood here before us – admiring St. Peter's Square in all its glory.
