EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting streets of Rome. The image showcases Via della Salara, a historic road that once thrived with bustling activity. In the background, we catch a glimpse of the magnificent steeple of the church of Santa Maria in Cosmedin, its grandeur standing tall against the sky. To the left, we see Osteria della Salara, an inviting establishment that likely welcomed weary travelers and locals alike. It served as a hub for social gatherings and shared moments over delicious food and drinks. Today, however, this vibrant road has vanished from existence, leaving behind only remnants of its glorious past. The photograph was captured between 1880-1890 by Roesler Franz Ettore during his exploration of Rome's architectural wonders. It beautifully captures the essence of Romanesque architecture prevalent during the Middle Ages in Europe. This visual masterpiece takes us on a journey through time to witness firsthand how civilization evolved throughout different millennia. As our eyes wander across this image, we notice intricate details such as a street lamp illuminating the cobblestone path and various urban furnishings adorning civic spaces nearby. A business sign catches our attention too – perhaps an indication of thriving commerce within this ancient city. The most striking element remains undoubtedly the majestic bell tower rising above all else – a symbol not just of architectural prowess but also Christian faith deeply rooted in Rome's history. Alas! We can't help but feel nostalgic for an era long gone when wandering down Via della Salara was commonplace for Romans going about their daily lives or visitors marveling at its splendorous sights. Let this evocative artwork remind us to cherish our heritage and appreciate how far we have come while honoring those who came before us on these very streets centuries ago.
