EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Monument to Ferdinand of Savoy Duke of Genoa" transports us back in time to the late 19th or early 20th century. The image showcases a magnificent equestrian statue standing proudly in Piazza Solferino, Turin. The monument itself is a testament to the skill and artistry of Alfonso Balzico, an accomplished artist from Italy who lived between 1825 and 1901. Erected in 1877, this grand sculpture pays homage to Ferdinand of Savoy Duke of Genoa, a prominent figure in Italian history. In the photograph, we see a male rider atop his horse, both exuding power and nobility. The horse's muscular form is beautifully captured as it stands tall on its hind legs while its mane gracefully flows with the wind. Surrounded by historical significance, this artwork symbolizes more than just an artistic creation; it represents Italy's rich heritage and national revolutions during the Risorgimento period. The presence of a shield-like emblem adds another layer of intrigue to this composition. It speaks volumes about territorial conquests and royal imperial aspirations that were prevalent during that era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by P. Z. , one cannot help but be transported into an era where horses were not only modes of transportation but also symbols of strength and prestige. This print serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time, allowing us glimpses into moments long gone yet forever etched in our collective memory.
