EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the enchanting Piazza Santa Maria Novella in Florence, circa 1890. The image beautifully captures the essence of this historic square, showcasing its grandeur and architectural splendor. Standing tall amidst the hustle and bustle of the piazza is a magnificent church, exuding an air of religious significance. Its intricate details are brought to life by Giacomo Brogi's masterful photography skills. The church serves as a focal point, drawing our attention towards it with its towering presence. The scene is further enriched by various elements that bring vibrancy to this urban setting. A classic street lamp illuminates the surroundings, casting a warm glow on the cobblestone streets below. Horse-drawn carriages can be seen traversing through the square, adding a touch of nostalgia to this snapshot from history. As we delve deeper into this photograph, our eyes are drawn towards an obelisk column that stands proudly at one corner of the piazza. This commemorative structure adds depth and character to an already picturesque scene. Intriguingly capturing both movement and stillness simultaneously, we catch glimpses of a train passing by on nearby tracks - symbolizing progress and modernity juxtaposed against traditional architecture. Brogi Giacomo's Stabilimento fotografico has truly immortalized this moment in time for us all to admire. Through his lens, he invites us into a world where past meets present; where ancient structures coexist harmoniously with evolving forms of transportation. This remarkable print not only showcases Florence's rich cultural heritage but also serves as a reminder that even amidst change, certain places remain timeless treasures waiting patiently for future generations to explore their beauty once more.
