EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the early 20th century, capturing the magnificent facade of the Borromean Islands Hotel in Stresa. The image, taken between 1900-1910, showcases a stunning architectural masterpiece that stands proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. The hotel's exterior is adorned with intricate wrought metal furnishings, adding an elegant touch to its already grand appearance. A charming street lamp illuminates the scene, hinting at the bustling urban life that once surrounded this iconic establishment. As our eyes wander across the photograph, we are drawn to a spacious terrace adorned with decorative elements and sections. The veranda invites guests to relax and enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Maggiore while savoring moments of tranquility amidst nature's beauty. A row of windows punctuates the facade, allowing natural light to flood into each room within. Shutters add character and charm while providing privacy for those seeking respite from their busy lives. Beyond the hotel's boundaries lies a lush hedge and towering trees that create a sense of serenity and seclusion. These vegetal elements harmoniously blend with man-made structures, showcasing how architecture can coexist seamlessly with nature. A gate fence marks an entrance onto a road avenue leading towards new adventures awaiting visitors who step foot inside this remarkable commercial structure. Brogi's masterful composition captures not only architectural details but also meteorological phenomena as fluffy clouds dotting the sky complete this picturesque scene. This print by Alinari serves as both a historical document and an exquisite piece of artistry; it encapsulates an era when craftsmanship thrived in every element designed for civic spaces like hotels – where elegance met functionality in perfect harmony.
