EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "MFC-A-003188-0087" takes us back in time to the enchanting Piazza Vittorio Emanuele in Civitavecchia. The scene is set in the late 19th century, as indicated by the date of the photo, around 1880-1890. In this bustling square, our eyes are immediately drawn to the magnificent facade of the Cathedral on the right. Its partial view hints at its grandeur and architectural beauty, leaving us yearning for more. Standing tall amidst this lively urban setting is a majestic fountain adorned with intricate details and crowned by a high jet of water. Its hydraulic structure adds an element of grace and elegance to this already picturesque scene. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, we notice a horse-drawn coach passing through the square. This method of transportation was common during that era and serves as a reminder of how people traveled by land back then. The presence of terrestrial mammals further enhances the charm of this image. These vertebrate animals add life and movement to an already vibrant cityscape. It's worth mentioning that within this historical context lies a Christian religious undertone emanating from both the Cathedral's facade and possibly even within some aspects of daily life captured here. Through Pezzini's lens, we are transported back in time to witness not only an exquisite architectural marvel but also glimpse into everyday scenes from another era - where horses trotted along cobbled streets while people went about their daily lives against a backdrop brimming with history and culture.
