EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the obverse side of a silver coin featuring Alessandro De Medici, an influential figure from the Renaissance era. Minted between 1532-37 by the renowned artist Benvenuto Cellini, this historical artifact is now housed in the Museo Nazionale del Bargello in Florence, Italy. The image captures a youthful portrait of Alessandro De Medici with his curly hair cascading around his face. His profile is highlighted against a dark background, emphasizing his striking features and commanding presence. The inscription on the coin reads "ALEXANDER MED R P FLOREN DVX" further immortalizing his name and title. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back to a time when power and wealth were symbolized by these meticulously crafted coins. This testone not only served as currency but also represented political authority during Alessandro De Medici's reign. Photographer Raffaello Bencini skillfully captures every intricate detail of this piece of history, allowing us to appreciate its artistic value beyond its monetary worth. Through this photograph, we can delve into the world of Renaissance artistry and admire both Cellini's craftsmanship and Alessandro De Medici's regal countenance.
