EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, a masterpiece by Giulio Monteverde. The monument stands proudly in Bologna's iconic Piazza Maggiore, serving as a symbol of honor and remembrance. Crafted in 1888, this bronze equestrian monument captures the essence of the late 19th-century arts and handicrafts. Its intricate details highlight the skillful craftsmanship of Monteverde, who was renowned for his ability to breathe life into his sculptures. The photograph itself dates back to around 1900, offering us a glimpse into the past and allowing us to appreciate both the artwork and its historical context. It transports us to an era when horse-drawn carriages roamed through bustling city squares like Piazza Maggiore. In 1944, during World War II, this remarkable monument was relocated from its original location in Piazza Maggiore to the entrance of Porta Santo Stefano within Margherita Gardens. This move aimed to protect it from potential damage caused by wartime activities while ensuring its preservation for future generations. As we gaze upon this image captured by an unidentified author from Alinari, we are reminded of the enduring legacy left behind by Vittorio Emanuele II – Italy's first king after unification. His contributions towards Italian unity are immortalized through this grand tribute that continues to inspire awe and admiration. This print not only celebrates Monteverde's artistic brilliance but also serves as a testament to history itself. It allows us to reflect on our shared heritage while appreciating the beauty found within art and culture across different centuries and continents.
