EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the timeless beauty of "The portico of San Francesco and the column of the Immaculate" in Bologna, Italy. The image transports us back to a bygone era, between 1870-1880, when this architectural masterpiece stood tall against the backdrop of an ever-evolving city. The portico itself is a remarkable display of Gothic architecture, dating back to its construction in 1263 during the Middle Ages. Its elegant arches and intricate building elements showcase the craftsmanship and attention to detail that was prevalent during this period in Europe's history. Atop one side of the portico stands a majestic column dedicated to the Immaculate Conception. This religious symbol adds depth and significance to an already awe-inspiring structure. Adjacent to it is a bell tower that reaches towards the heavens, reminding all who pass by of their spiritual connection. Intriguingly, amidst this grandeur lies a statue capturing our attention - perhaps representing devotion or faith - standing proudly beside what appears to be an old carriage or coach. These objects add layers of intrigue and mystery as we ponder their significance within this historical context. Giorgio Sommer skillfully captured not only these architectural wonders but also preserved them for future generations through his lens. His work allows us today to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such structures centuries ago and how they continue to shape our understanding of history. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Alinari, we are reminded that even though time may pass relentlessly forward, there will always be remnants from our past that inspire wonderment and admiration for those who came before us.
