EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the year 1910, showcasing the Portico of Octavia in Rome. The small ruin captured in this image was once a grand quadrangular portico built by Emperor Augustus as a dedication to his beloved sister, Octavia Minor. Standing outdoors amidst the ancient architecture, we see a lone male figure gazing upon the remnants of this historical structure. The Porticus Octaviae holds immense historical significance as it replaced the previous Porticus Metelli sometime after 27 BC. Its arched facade and ruined exterior add an air of mystery and intrigue to its surroundings. The sepia tones further enhance the vintage charm of this century-old photograph. Enrico Verdesi, an Italian photographer from Rome, skillfully captured this moment in time for his collection titled "Cento Vedute Classiche di Roma". His attention to detail allows us to appreciate both the beauty and decay present within these ancient ruins. As we admire this snapshot from history, we are reminded of Emperor Augustus' legacy and his devotion towards honoring his sister through architectural marvels like the Portico of Octavia. This print serves as a testament to Italy's rich cultural heritage and offers us a glimpse into Rome's glorious past.
