EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the bustling Piazza del Mercato in Naples during the 18th century. The focal point of this lively scene is undoubtedly the magnificent church of Santa Croce al Mercato, or al Purgatorio, designed by Francesco Securo. Its Renaissance-Baroque architectural style stands proudly against the backdrop of a vibrant urban street scene. The grandeur of this church is evident in its dome and cupola, adorned with intricate building elements and decorative sections. The facade boasts an impressive tympanum that adds to its overall splendor. This structure not only serves as a place of worship but also as a symbol of Christian faith within this thriving city. As we observe this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but notice the energy emanating from the square itself. People are going about their daily lives, engaging in various activities that bring life to this corner of Naples. From merchants selling their wares to locals socializing on benches or strolling through the piazza, there is an undeniable sense of community here. The photograph was taken around 1900, capturing a moment when modernity started blending with tradition in Europe's first and second millenniums AD. It showcases how architecture has evolved over time while still maintaining its historical charm. This remarkable artwork by Alinari Fratelli allows us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind Securo's creation and glimpse into everyday life during that era. It serves as a reminder that history continues to shape our present-day experiences and reminds us to cherish these glimpses into our collective pasts.
