EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "View of Turin, 1672" takes us back to the late seventeenth century in Italy. The print showcases the remarkable town planning and architectural prowess of this North Italian city. With its elevated perspective, we are granted a panoramic view of Turin's picturesque scenery. The artist behind this masterpiece is Giovanni Tommaso Borgonio, an esteemed cartographer and engraver from that era. His attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he meticulously captures the essence of Turin's urban landscape. In this bustling townscape, devoid of people but brimming with life, we can imagine the daily activities that once took place on these streets. The presence of communication equipment suggests a thriving network for exchanging news and information during that time. Turin's grandeur shines through in its magnificent architecture and well-planned city layout. From towering buildings to charming houses nestled along narrow alleys, every element contributes to the overall charm and character of this vibrant city. As we gaze upon this historic print, it transports us back to a bygone era when Turin was known as Augusta Taurinorum. It serves as a testament to both Borgonio's artistic talent and his dedication to preserving the beauty of Northern Italy for generations to come.
