EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "CAD-S-070011-0013" transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Siena. The image captures a couple standing on a terrace, basking in the warm sunlight that bathes the scene. In the background, we are treated to a majestic sight – the Torre del Mangia rising proudly against the clear blue sky. The photograph was taken during an autumn visit to Siena between August 13th and October 10th in 1931. It is attributed to two talented artists: Mammi, Lippo and Agostino di Giovanni (who sadly passed away before 1347). These skilled individuals have masterfully captured not only the essence of this couple but also their surroundings. The architecture of this terrace is truly remarkable; every building element exudes elegance and sophistication. Intricate decorations adorn its walls while sections create interesting patterns that add depth to the composition. The highlight, however, remains undoubtedly the Torre del Mangia – a symbol of power and grandeur. As we shift our focus from architecture to fashion, it becomes evident that both members of this couple possess impeccable style. The man dons a fashionable hat while his companion wears an exquisite headdress that adds an air of mystery to her appearance. Monteverde's expert eye has immortalized this moment in history with great finesse. Through his lens, he has captured not just any ordinary portrait but rather one brimming with life and emotion. This extraordinary print by Aurelio Monteverde from Alinari allows us to step into another era where love blossoms amidst architectural marvels and timeless fashion choices. It serves as a testament to human creativity and reminds us how art can transcend time itself.
