EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Rome in the early 20th century. The view captured is none other than Via Nazionale, a prominent thoroughfare that has witnessed countless stories unfold over the years. In this snapshot from around 1912, our eyes are drawn to Palazzo Koch on the right side of the frame. Little did anyone know at the time that this majestic building would one day become home to the prestigious Bank of Italy. Its grandeur stands tall, exuding an air of importance and stability amidst a sea of activity. Directly opposite Palazzo Koch lies another architectural gem: Eliseo Theater, formerly known as National Arena. This magnificent palace serves as a testament to Rome's rich cultural heritage and love for performing arts. It beckons passersby with its ornate facade, hinting at evenings filled with laughter, drama, and applause within its walls. As we take in this scene from over a century ago, it becomes apparent that transportation played a crucial role in shaping daily life during those times. A horse-drawn coach gracefully makes its way down Via Nazionale—a reminder of how people traversed these very streets before cars dominated our roads. The overall composition captures not only buildings but also street scenes teeming with life—people going about their business or leisurely strolling along this vibrant avenue. It offers us a glimpse into what it was like to be part of Rome's urban fabric during an era long gone by. Alinari Fratelli's masterful photography freezes this moment in time forever—an exquisite memento allowing us to appreciate both the timeless beauty and ever-evolving nature of cities like Rome throughout history.
