EDITORS COMMENTS
The Monument to the Fallen, designed by architect Antonio Saint Elia, stands proudly in Como as a symbol of remembrance and reverence. This print captures the essence of this magnificent structure, with its sleek lines and futuristic design that epitomize the avant-garde style of the early 20th century. In the background, we are treated to a breathtaking view of Lake Como and the charming community of Brunate. The tranquil waters reflect the serenity that surrounds this commemorative equestrian monument, creating a picturesque scene that is both awe-inspiring and peaceful. The photograph was taken in 1955, capturing not only the beauty of this architectural masterpiece but also providing us with a glimpse into history. The artwork itself was created by Sant'Elia in 1933, showcasing his visionary talent even before his untimely death at just 28 years old. As we admire this image, our attention is drawn to other elements within it. A street lamp illuminates the urban landscape while adding an elegant touch to civic spaces. The furnishings blend seamlessly into their surroundings, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics. This war memorial serves as a poignant reminder of sacrifice and bravery while standing tall against time's passage. An automobile passing by on the road signifies progress and movement – symbols deeply intertwined with transportation throughout history. Overall, this print encapsulates multiple art movements such as futurism and avante-garde styles prevalent before 1945. It offers us not only a glimpse into architectural brilliance but also invites contemplation on themes like memory, transportation, cityscapes, and international artistic influences.
