EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1912, showcases a breathtaking view along Via Calzaioli in Florence, Italy. The image, taken from the Baptistery, offers a unique perspective of the historic street, framed by the ancient architecture that defines this enchanting city. At the heart of the scene, the iconic Brunelleschi's Dome of the Florence Cathedral can be seen in the distance, while the red-tiled roofs of the buildings lining the street create a vibrant mosaic of textures and hues. The carriage, a remnant of a bygone era, adds an element of nostalgia and charm to the scene. Two prominent structures tower above the rooftops: the Bigallo and the top of San Michele. The Bigallo, or the "Arno Ball," is a large marble globe that once adorned the top of the Campanile of the Florence Cathedral. It was removed during renovations in the late 19th century and is now housed in the Museum of the Opera del Duomo. San Michele, or San Michele in Borgo, is a medieval church and monastery located at the eastern end of Ponte Vecchio. This photograph, with its rich history and intriguing details, transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past and the enduring beauty of Florence. The cobblestone streets, the ancient buildings, and the timeless charm of this Italian city continue to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
