EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-000706-0000" transports us back to the enchanting city of Milan in the late 19th century. The image showcases a mesmerizing panorama of one of the two angular embattled towers that grace the magnificent Castello Sforzesco. Standing tall and proud, these architectural marvels epitomize strength and grandeur. In the foreground, we are drawn to the square-shaped 'Falconry Tower, ' its sturdy walls whispering tales of ancient traditions and noble pursuits. Behind it, a circular tower emerges majestically, adding another layer of splendor to this historic fortress. The photograph was captured between 1860 and 1870 by Carlo Ferrario, who skillfully immortalized this iconic landmark through his lens. It is a testament to his artistic vision and technical prowess. The Castello Sforzesco itself dates back centuries, with origins tracing as far as the XIV century. Its rich history includes various renowned architects such as Filarete, Antonio Averulino (also known as Gadio), Bartolomeo Gadio Beltrami, Luca Beltrami (1854-1933), and Giovanni da Milano contributing their expertise over time. Today, this castle serves multiple purposes beyond its military roots; it houses museums, picture galleries, scientific archives, libraries – becoming a hub for intellectual exploration. This panoramic view from atop one of its towers offers visitors an awe-inspiring vista of Milan's sprawling cityscape. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Ferrario from Alinari's collection, we can't help but be transported into an era where architecture stood as a symbol of power and creativity – where every stone told stories waiting to be discovered anew.
