EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the National Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, also known as Vittoriano or Altare della Patria, in Piazza Venezia, Rome. Designed by the talented architect Giuseppe Sacconi between 1885 and 1935, this monumental structure stands tall as a symbol of Italian pride and unity. The image showcases the intricate details of this commemorative equestrian monument that pays homage to King Victor Emmanuel II, who played a significant role in Italy's unification. The artist's mastery is evident in every aspect of this architectural marvel - from its majestic staircase leading up to the towering statue atop a horse. As we gaze upon this photograph taken around 1920, we are transported back to the vibrant streets of Rome during the early twentieth century. The bustling street scene surrounding the monument adds life and context to an already awe-inspiring sight. The photographer Anderson skillfully captures not only the magnificence of Sacconi's creation but also provides us with a glimpse into daily life in Rome at that time. This juxtaposition creates a sense of depth and connection between past and present. With its eclecticism reflecting influences from both nineteenth-century Europe and earlier historical periods such as First and Second Millennium A. D. , this artwork serves as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage. It stands proudly today as both an architectural masterpiece and a poignant reminder of Italy's history. Alinari has once again presented us with an extraordinary piece that encapsulates artistry, history, architecture, culture, all within one frame.
