EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-002912-0000" offers a glimpse into the rich history of Perugia's iconic 'Palazzo dei Priori. ' The image showcases the grandeur of the main facade before significant alterations took place. Dating back to 1865-1875, this photograph captures the palazzo in its original form, with its medieval staircase intact and untouched by time. The Palazzo dei Priori stands as a testament to Perugia's architectural splendor, boasting an impressive fan-shaped staircase that replaced the medieval one seen here. This stunning transformation would forever alter the aesthetic of this historical landmark. Giacomo di Servadio and Giovannello di Benvenuto are credited as artists for capturing this momentous piece of history through their lens. Their keen eye allows us to appreciate not only the intricate details of each building element but also the decorative sections that adorn this magnificent structure. Located in Piazza IV Novembre, Perugia's central square, this municipal town hall served as an administrative hub for centuries. Its arches and porticoes exude elegance while reflecting upon a bygone era when craftsmanship was revered. While we may never know who precisely captured this remarkable scene from Alinari's collection, it is clear that they possessed both skill and passion for preserving cultural heritage through photography. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork dating back to 1293-1444, let us marvel at how architecture can transcend time. It serves as a reminder of our collective responsibility to cherish these treasures from our past and preserve them for future generations to admire.
