EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the enchanting scene of Verona's Ponte Navi (Ships Bridge) and the Church of San Fermo Maggiore, as they stood in the early 1900s. The Church of San Fermo Maggiore, located in the heart of Verona, Italy, is a stunning architectural masterpiece that has played a significant role in the city's rich history. Initially home to the Benedictine monks, the church was later taken over by the Franciscans in 1260. The Franciscan influence is still evident today, with the distinctive white façade and the distinctive bell tower adorned with intricate frescoes. In the foreground of this image, the Ponte Navi, or Ships Bridge, spans the Adige River. This iconic bridge, built in the 14th century, has undergone several restorations throughout history. The most recent renovation took place following bomb damage during World War Two. The bridge's name derives from the fact that it was once used to transport ships overland during periods of high water. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back in time to a moment when the Church of San Fermo Maggiore and the Ponte Navi stood proudly, embracing the beauty and history of Verona.
