EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Piazza of Porta Romana in Florence. The image captures the essence of this historic square, showcasing its Gothic architecture and medieval charm. Dating back to the 14th century, the Piazza di Porta Romana stands as a testament to Florence's rich history. The city gate, with its intricate arches and decorative elements, serves as a reminder of its military and defensive past. Through the gateway, we catch a glimpse of bustling streets adorned with elegant street lamps that illuminate the urban landscape. The photograph also showcases various furnishings for civic spaces, adding an element of life to this timeless scene. From statues adorning corners to finely crafted window frames on buildings, every detail exudes artistic beauty. Intriguingly, amidst this historical setting lies a streetcar gracefully gliding along tracks embedded in cobblestone streets. This juxtaposition between old-world charm and modern transportation is truly captivating. Brogi's skilled lens perfectly captures not only the architectural grandeur but also the atmosphere surrounding this iconic square. It invites us to imagine ourselves strolling through these ancient streets, experiencing firsthand what life was like during Europe's first and second millenniums. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from 1890, it serves as a visual bridge connecting our present-day world with Florence's storied past. Let it inspire you to explore further into history or perhaps even plan your own visit to experience firsthand the magic that still resides within Piazza di Porta Romana today.
