EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Piazza Maggiore in Bologna" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the bustling heart of this historic Italian city. Taken around 1870-1880, it showcases the architectural marvels and vibrant street life that have defined Bologna for centuries. On the left side of the square, we see Palazzo del Podestà, an imposing structure adorned with intricate details. The portico beneath it is teeming with figures going about their daily activities, adding a sense of liveliness to the scene. Beyond this magnificent building stands Torre dell'Arengo, its presence commanding attention against the sky. As our gaze moves towards the background along the eastern side of Piazza Maggiore, we are greeted by Portico dei Banchi. This covered walkway serves as both a shelter from weather elements and a hub for commerce and trade. Its arches create an enchanting visual rhythm that adds depth to this already picturesque setting. The photograph transports us back to 1485 when Aristotele Fieravanti or Fioravanti captured his architectural masterpiece in paint or ink. It beautifully captures not only specific buildings but also various aspects of urban life at that time – from political structures like municipality town hall to commercial establishments lining up under porticos. With action unfolding on every corner and streets filled with people going about their day-to-day routines, this image encapsulates both historical significance and everyday charm. It provides us with a unique window into Bologna's rich past while reminding us of its enduring beauty as a city steeped in history and culture. This remarkable piece was preserved by Alinari without any mention of commercial use; instead allowing viewers to appreciate its artistic value as well as immerse themselves in Bologna's captivating atmosphere through time.
