EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Civita Castellana, located in the province of Viterbo, Italy. The focal point of this image is an ancient door that once formed part of the formidable city walls. Standing tall and proud, it exudes a sense of history and mystery. Dating back to 1910, this print captures a moment frozen in time. The photographer remains unknown, but their keen eye for detail has allowed us to appreciate the intricate architecture and craftsmanship that went into creating such a magnificent structure. The door itself serves as both a gateway and a symbol of military defense. Its sturdy construction suggests its role in protecting the inhabitants within from potential threats outside. As we gaze upon it now, devoid of any action or movement, we can only imagine what stories lie behind its weathered facade. Beyond the door lies a quiet street scene that transports us further into this bygone era. It offers glimpses into everyday life during that period - perhaps people going about their daily routines or children playing along these historic streets. In addition to capturing urban life, this photograph also provides us with breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside. We are reminded that Civita Castellana is not just defined by its architectural wonders but also by its natural beauty. As we admire this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let our imaginations wander through time and space. Let us embrace the rich history embedded within every stone and marvel at how something as simple as an ancient door can transport us so effortlessly into another world.
