This photo print, titled "MFC-F-002108-0000" transports us to the enchanting Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples. The image captures a unique perspective of this iconic square, showcasing the magnificent equestrian statue dedicated to Ferdinando I. Taken from the back, we are granted an intimate view of the regal horse and its rider against the backdrop of the grand Palazzo Reale's facade. Dating back to approximately 1857-1860, this photograph by Giorgio Sommer beautifully encapsulates a moment frozen in time. It allows us to appreciate not only his artistic eye but also his ability to capture architectural details with precision and finesse.

It invites us to reflect upon centuries-old structures that have stood witness to countless stories unfolding before them.
