EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-001114-0000" takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Rome during the early 20th century. The focal point of this image is the magnificent 'Santa Maria in Monte Santo' church, standing proudly against the backdrop of a bustling 'Piazza del Popolo. ' The scene unfolds with a few individuals scattered across the square, going about their daily lives amidst the grandeur of their surroundings. Adding an element of charm and nostalgia are two horse-drawn trams gracefully making their way through the streets. These antiquated modes of transportation offer a glimpse into a bygone era when life moved at a slower pace. The artistic genius behind this architectural marvel is none other than Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1598-1680), renowned for his contributions to Baroque art and architecture. Collaborating with him on this project was Carlo Fontana, whose expertise further enhanced its splendor. The construction spanned from 1662 to 1679 approximately, showcasing meticulous attention to detail evident in every column, building element, decoration, and section. As we explore this visual masterpiece captured by Brogi Edizioni from Alinari's collection, our eyes are drawn towards various architectural elements such as the dome, cupola, facade adorned with intricate carvings and statues that breathe life into stone. The portico invites visitors inside while the tympanum adds an air of majesty above its entrance. This sacred structure stands tall as a symbol of Christian faith within Rome's urban landscape—a testament to centuries-old traditions and beliefs cherished by its inhabitants. It serves not only as a place for worship but also as an iconic landmark that has witnessed countless moments throughout history. Transport yourself back in time through this remarkable photograph—an exquisite blend of artistry and historical significance—offering us glimpses into both human ingenuity and everyday life in one frame.
