EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "CAD-S-070010-0012" we are transported back in time to the enchanting Piazza IV Novembre in Perugia. The year is 1907, and bustling activity fills the square as sellers of terracotta pots line its cobblestone streets. The image, captured by renowned artists Giacomo di Servadio and Giovannello di Benvenuto, beautifully encapsulates the essence of Perugia's rich history. Dating back to 1293-1444, this architectural masterpiece showcases a grand staircase leading up to an impressive building adorned with intricate decorations and sections. As our eyes wander through the frame, we notice a three-light window that adds a touch of elegance to the municipality's political buildings. This structure once served as the office of the podesta, symbolizing power and authority within the city. Amidst this historical backdrop, a pedlar can be seen immersed in his work. With focused determination, he tends to his collection of vases displayed on wooden carts. His presence adds life and authenticity to this street scene - a testament to both vocation and daily life during that era. From this vantage point in Piazza IV Novembre, one can marvel at panoramic views of Perugia's charming cityscape. The artist Aurelio Monteverde skillfully captures these breathtaking vistas while highlighting an exquisite vase placed strategically within the composition. This remarkable print from Alinari allows us not only to admire Perugia's architectural wonders but also invites us into its vibrant past. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries when it comes to preserving history for generations to come – reminding us all why photography is such a powerful medium for storytelling.
