EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photograph captures the grandeur of the Commemorative Monument to the Frejus Tunnel, located in Piazza Statuto in Turin. The monument stands proudly as a testament to both human ingenuity and artistic craftsmanship. Designed by the visionary Count of Panispera and brought to life by skilled sculptor Luigi Belli, this magnificent structure is a sight to behold. At its center, a striking pyramid of stones rises majestically towards the sky, symbolizing strength and endurance. Surrounding it are statues that depict various mythological figures from Greco-Roman mythology, adding an air of mystique and enchantment. The photograph itself was taken around 1890, capturing this masterpiece during its prime. It showcases not only the monument but also highlights the intricate details carved into each statue with remarkable precision. The artist behind this stunning artwork is Odoardo Tabacchi, collaborating with Luigi Belli. Dating back to 1879 when it was completed, this commemorative monument serves as a reminder of one of Europe's greatest engineering feats – the construction of the Frejus Tunnel connecting France and Italy. Its presence in Piazza Statuto adds historical significance to Turin's landscape while paying homage to those who made such progress possible. As we gaze upon this extraordinary image captured by Brogi from Alinari studios, we are transported back in time – immersed in both artistry and history.
