EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the grandeur of the "Monument to Ferdinando di Savoia Duke of Genoa" in Piazza Solferino, Turin. The monument, created by renowned artist Alfonso Balzico in 1877, stands as a testament to the noble legacy of Ferdinando di Savoia. In this image, we see the majestic statue towering over the bustling square. The Duke is depicted on horseback, exuding power and authority. His regal presence is further emphasized by his elaborate coat of arms and crest adorning his shield. This emblem serves as a symbol of nobility and imperial heritage. The composition beautifully captures both the intricate details of Balzico's artwork and its integration into the urban landscape. The horse's muscular form contrasts against the surrounding architecture, creating a harmonious blend between artistry and city life. Dating back to sometime between 1890-1910 when this photograph was taken by P. Z. , it offers us a glimpse into history during Europe's transition from the nineteenth to twentieth century. It also reminds us of Italy's rich cultural heritage, particularly during periods such as national revolutions and risorgimento. As we admire this remarkable print from Alinari - Photoglob & Co. , we are transported back in time to witness an era where equestrian statues were not only symbols of power but also testaments to artistic excellence. Through this image, we can appreciate both Balzico's craftsmanship and his contribution to preserving historical narratives through visual art. Whether you are an enthusiast for European history or simply captivated by stunning photography that encapsulates moments frozen in time, this print offers a window into an important chapter in Italy's past – one that continues to shape its present identity.
