EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling atmosphere of Piazza Duomo in Milan, with the majestic Northern Porticoes serving as a stunning backdrop. The image, taken around 1910, transports us back to a time when horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians filled the vibrant square. In the foreground stands an impressive equestrian monument, commemorating an important figure from Milan's history. Created by renowned artist Ercole Rosa between 1878 and 1896, this masterpiece showcases intricate details of a nobleman on horseback wielding a sword. The monument symbolizes strength, power, and valor. The scene is enlivened by various elements that reflect different aspects of life during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Europe. Military personnel clad in armor can be seen alongside civilians donning fashionable clothing and headdresses of the era. This juxtaposition highlights both military life and civilian society coexisting harmoniously within Milan's cultural tapestry. A regal lion statue guards one side of the monument, adding to its grandeur while representing nobility and courage. The presence of this majestic creature further emphasizes the significance attached to honor and bravery during that period. Brogi's expert photography skills bring this historical moment to life through his lens. His attention to detail allows viewers to immerse themselves in every aspect captured within this remarkable composition. Alinari has once again provided us with an extraordinary glimpse into our past through their vast collection of prints. This particular piece offers not only aesthetic pleasure but also serves as a valuable historical document showcasing Milan's rich heritage during the first two millennia AD.
