This print showcases the grandeur of The Bologna Station, a remarkable railway station in 19th century Europe. Taken around 1890, the photograph captures the essence of this architectural masterpiece that was adorned with arts and handicrafts from the XIX century. The Bologna Station stands tall against the backdrop of a bustling city street scene. Its impressive tower reaches towards the sky, symbolizing progress and modernity as it served as a hub for transportation during that era. The exterior is beautifully decorated with intricate building elements and furnishings for civic spaces, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship. A prominent feature in this image is an elegant street lamp illuminating the surroundings, casting a warm glow on passersby. It adds to the charm of this urban setting while also serving its practical purpose during nighttime hours. Intriguingly, there is also a clock visible on one side of the station's facade - an instrument measuring time precisely. This detail emphasizes how crucial punctuality was in train travel during those times when coaches traversed long distances by land. The photographer behind this stunning artwork is Roberto Peli from Alinari. Through his lens, he captured not only an architectural marvel but also conveyed a sense of movement and action within this historical context. This print transports us back to an era where railways were at their peak and cities were rapidly evolving. It serves as both a visual delight and a valuable historical artifact that encapsulates European history from different centuries – all within one frame.
