EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling energy of Milan's Corso di Porta Venezia in the early 20th century. Taken between 1915-1920, it offers a glimpse into the daily life of pedestrians and various means of transportation that traversed this iconic street. In this snapshot frozen in time, we see a vibrant mix of people strolling along the wide avenue, going about their daily routines. Men and women dressed in fashionable attire walk briskly or leisurely, engaged in conversations or lost in their own thoughts. The city's urban architecture forms an impressive backdrop with its ornate buildings boasting intricate decorations and sections. The photograph also showcases an array of transportation options available during that era. Horsedrawn trams glide gracefully on tracks embedded within the road, transporting passengers to different destinations across Milan. Coaches can be seen sharing space with these trams as they navigate through the busy streets. The image exudes a sense of movement and dynamism as people from all walks of life interact amidst this thriving metropolis. It serves as a testament to how cities evolve over time while still retaining their unique character. Alinari Fratelli, renowned for capturing historical moments through photography, has expertly framed this scene to highlight both human activity and architectural grandeur. Their attention to detail is evident not only in capturing individuals but also showcasing elements such as business signs, windows, and building structures that contribute to the overall ambiance. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection today, we are transported back to an era where horse-drawn carriages shared space with emerging modes of public transportation—a visual reminder of how far we have come since then.
