EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-002664-0000" transports us back in time to the late 19th century. The image captures the magnificent facade and bell tower of the Cathedral of Assisi dedicated to San Rufino, a sight that has stood proudly for centuries. In the foreground, we see a bustling square filled with adults and children going about their daily lives. It is a snapshot of ordinary people amidst extraordinary architecture, showcasing the harmonious coexistence between human activity and religious grandeur. The photograph was taken around 1880-1890 by Giovanni da Gubbio, an artist whose work remains unidentified but not unnoticed. His lens skillfully frames this architectural marvel against the backdrop of Assisi's picturesque streetscape. The Cathedral itself dates back even further, with its construction spanning from 1140 to 1253. Its commanding presence dominates the cityscape as it stands tall as a symbol of Christian faith. Notable features captured in this image include a street lamp illuminating the scene at dusk, adding an enchanting glow to both architecture and people alike. The rose window on the facade adds intricate beauty while also serving as a portal into spiritual realms. A statue adorns one corner of this sacred place, reminding passersby of its significance within Christian religion and history. A watchful clock atop the bell tower measures time with precision—a constant reminder that life moves forward amidst timeless structures. This print offers us more than just visual delight; it provides insight into urban life during that era—an invaluable glimpse into history frozen in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable composition by Unidentified Author from Alinari, we are transported to another world—one where artistry meets spirituality on every cobblestone street corner in Assisi's charming piazza.
