EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Padua, Italy. The focal point of the image is the magnificent Palazzo della Ragione, affectionately known as "Salone" which stands proudly against a backdrop of Gothic architecture. Built during the Middle Ages, this architectural gem has witnessed centuries of history unfold within its walls. The photograph was taken around 1885, capturing the essence of a bygone era. Its composition beautifully showcases the intricate details and grandeur of Salone's design. The artist behind this masterpiece is Giovanni degli Eremitani, fra', whose talent brings out every nuance and texture with remarkable precision. As we delve deeper into this visual narrative, our eyes are drawn to a street lamp standing tall beside Salone. This urban element adds an intriguing contrast between old-world charm and modernity, reminding us that time marches on even amidst historical landmarks. Furnishings for civic spaces dotting the exterior further enhance our understanding of how important this building was to Padua's social fabric throughout different periods in history. A portico gracefully frames Salone's entrance while various decorative elements adorn its facade. One notable feature captured in this image is a sundial—an ancient instrument used for measuring time—embedded within Salone's structure. It serves as a reminder that time itself has been measured here for centuries, witnessing countless legal proceedings unfold within these hallowed halls. Alinari has masterfully preserved this piece of artistry from long ago—a testament to their commitment to preserving cultural heritage through photography. As we gaze upon this print today, we can't help but feel transported back in time—to an age where Gothic architecture reigned supreme and Palazzo della Ragione stood as both witness and participant in Padua's rich tapestry of history.
