EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Bologna in the late 19th century. The image showcases the magnificent Palazzo Podest, standing proudly at Piazza Maggiore, as if frozen in history. The photograph was captured between 1870 and 1880 by Giorgio Sommer, a renowned Italian photographer known for his exceptional talent in capturing urban landscapes. Sommer's lens perfectly frames this architectural masterpiece, highlighting its grandeur against the backdrop of a bustling city. Palazzo Podest is an exquisite example of Renaissance architecture and was designed by Aristotele Fieravanti or Fioravanti back in 1485. Its arches, columns, and intricate decorations are beautifully showcased in this photograph. The building's towering structure stands tall with a sense of authority while its portico invites visitors to explore further. The image also captures elements that define civic spaces such as street lamps and furnishings scattered around the square. These details provide insight into daily life during that era, adding depth to our understanding of Bologna's rich history. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry from Alinari's collection, we can't help but marvel at how it effortlessly transports us through time. It serves as a testament to both Sommer's skill behind the camera lens and Bologna's enduring beauty throughout centuries.
