EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magnificent Monument to Alessandro Volta, a masterpiece sculpted by Pompeo Marchesi in Como. The image, taken between 1915-1920, showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of the nineteenth-century arts and handicrafts in Europe. The bronze gate stands tall against a backdrop of lush vegetation, adorned with intricate acanthus leaves and festoons that add an air of elegance to this monumental work. Its pedestal proudly displays the likeness of Volta, paying homage to his contributions as an inventor and physicist. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see various elements that symbolize communication and progress. A hand holding a writing instrument signifies the power of written words while nearby lies a shoe - perhaps representing mankind's journey towards advancement through innovation. Fashionable accessories catch our eye as they rest on delicate fingers. Every detail is meticulously captured by Brogi Giacomo from Stabilimento fotografico Alinari. From strands of hair framing a face to expressive eyes and noses, each feature tells its own story within this artistic composition. As we gaze upon this print today, it serves as a reminder not only of Volta's legacy but also highlights the physiological and psychological aspects associated with human expression. The mouth's lips seem poised to speak volumes about scientific breakthroughs achieved during both millennia - first and second AD. Let us appreciate this stunning photograph for its historical significance; it transports us back in time to witness firsthand the beauty created by talented artisans like Pompeo Marchesi during Europe's nineteenth century.
