EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "San Gimignano. The Fountains with the Porta Le Fonti" transports us back in time to the enchanting Italian town of San Gimignano during the late 19th century. Taken around 1890, this image captures a picturesque scene featuring the iconic Porta Le Fonti arch and its surrounding fountains. The photograph showcases the architectural beauty of San Gimignano, highlighting intricate building elements and decorative sections that adorn the walls. The presence of military and defensive structures reminds us of the town's historical significance as a fortified settlement. In addition to its architectural charm, this image also depicts natural elements such as clouds hovering above, giving insight into meteorological phenomena experienced during that era. A lush landscape with trees and vegetation frames the composition, adding depth to this visual narrative. What truly brings life to this photograph are two figures captured in traditional attire. A female dressed in costume stands near one of the fountains, providing a glimpse into fashion and clothing styles prevalent at that time. Her presence adds a human touch to an otherwise serene setting. Brogi's masterful photography skills have preserved this moment from over a century ago for us to appreciate today. As we gaze upon this remarkable print by Alinari, we can't help but be transported back in time – immersing ourselves in both history and artistry.
