EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-S-001600-0032" takes us back in time to the late 19th century. The image captures a mesmerizing sight - the Pedestal of the Vescovado in Chioggia. Standing tall and proud against an urban backdrop, this street lamp exudes a sense of timeless elegance. The photograph showcases not only the exterior beauty of this architectural element but also its significance as furnishings for civic spaces. The intricate balustrade and decorative sections add character to the overall composition, highlighting the attention to detail prevalent during that era. As we delve deeper into this image, we are drawn towards a remarkable sculpture adorning the pedestal. A female figure stands gracefully, her presence evoking both physiological and psychological aspects associated with old age and wisdom. This individual statue becomes an emblematic representation of strength and resilience. Ferdinando Ongania's keen eye has immortalized this moment in history through his lens. His mastery lies in capturing not just buildings or objects but also emotions within his frames. Through his lens, he transforms mere stone into art that speaks volumes about our shared human experience. Let us appreciate this photograph for what it truly is - a work of art that transcends time and space. It reminds us of our rich architectural heritage while celebrating femininity, craftsmanship, and cultural significance embedded within every structure we encounter.
