EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "MFC-A-003188-0091" we are transported back in time to the late 19th century, where a bustling hotel complex near Civitavecchia takes center stage. The grandeur of the structure is evident as it looms large in the background, exuding an air of elegance and sophistication. However, it is not just the hotel that catches our attention. In the foreground, a charming scene unfolds before us - a wagon drawn by two donkeys. These hardworking mammals add a touch of rustic charm to the otherwise refined setting. Their presence reminds us of simpler times when terrestrial transportation was reliant on these loyal creatures. As we delve deeper into the image, our eyes are drawn to various architectural details that adorn both the hotel and its surroundings. A magnificent portico graces one side of the building, adding an element of grandeur and providing shelter for guests entering or exiting. The intricate decoration and sections further showcase skilled craftsmanship prevalent during this era. The photograph captures more than just a moment frozen in time; it offers us glimpses into daily life and commerce at this thriving location. We can imagine visitors arriving by land with their belongings loaded onto carts or wheelbarrows similar to what we see here. Taken by Pezzini from Alinari, this remarkable print allows us to step back in time and immerse ourselves in history. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity in creating impressive structures while also highlighting our reliance on animals for transportation during that period.
