EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing close-up of the Palazzo Pubblico of Piacenza, known as "Il Gotico". The image transports us back to the Middle Ages in Europe, capturing the essence of this magnificent Gothic building. Dating back to around 1281, this architectural marvel stands tall in Piacenza's historic Piazza dei Cavalli. Every intricate detail is brought to life through Brogi's lens, allowing us to appreciate the grandeur and craftsmanship that went into its construction. The photograph focuses on various elements of the building's facade. We can admire the elegant arches and columns that adorn its entrance, while pilasters add a touch of sophistication. The crenelation at the top adds an air of strength and fortification. As we delve deeper into this visual masterpiece, we are reminded that this structure served not only as a symbol of beauty but also held great administrative significance. It was here that political decisions were made and governance took place within these walls. The play between light and shadow is expertly captured by Brogi's camera lens. Two-light windows illuminate parts of the facade while a string course divides different sections with precision. A three-light window adds another layer of charm to this already enchanting scene. With its rich history dating back over several centuries, it is no wonder why Palazzo Pubblico remains an iconic landmark in Piacenza today. This timeless photograph serves as a testament to both its enduring beauty and historical importance.
