EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the breathtaking view of Fiesole, a charming hilltown located just a few kilometers north of Florence, Italy, in the year 1912. The image was taken from the hill beneath the Monastery of San Francesco, offering a panoramic perspective of the Tuscan landscape. Fiesole, with its rich history dating back to the Etruscan civilization, has long been a source of inspiration for artists, writers, and travelers. The town's strategic location on a hilltop provides a stunning vantage point of the surrounding countryside, including the iconic red-tiled rooftops of Florence in the distance. The monastery in the foreground, the Monastery of San Francesco, is a significant historical landmark in Fiesole. Founded in the 13th century, the monastery has undergone various transformations throughout the centuries, making it an intriguing blend of architectural styles. Its serene presence adds to the tranquil atmosphere of the hilltop, creating a sense of peace and contemplation. This photograph, taken over a century ago, transports us back in time, inviting us to imagine the scenes that unfolded in this picturesque town and its surroundings. The rolling hills, the winding roads, and the quaint houses remain largely unchanged, making Fiesole a timeless treasure in the heart of Tuscany.
