EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "S. Lucia. Naples" captures the essence of the Gulf of Naples as seen from Via Partenope in 1865. The foreground showcases the magnificent Fountain of the Immacolatella and a few stands, adding a touch of charm to the scene. In the background, Mount Vesuvius emits wisps of smoke, reminding viewers of its powerful presence. One cannot help but be drawn to the numerous ships peacefully anchored near the Port of Santa Lucia. They symbolize commerce and trade, highlighting Naples' significance as a bustling hub for maritime activities during that era. The composition beautifully combines elements such as stand structures and sites with shanty housing, showcasing both sides of Naples' architecture at that time. The fountain itself is an architectural marvel—a hydraulic masterpiece that adds elegance to this seascape landscape. Transportation plays a significant role in this image; ships by water serve as both scene and method of transportation for goods and people alike. This snapshot freezes a moment in history when sea travel was essential for connecting cities and nations. The artwork's creators, Bernini Pietro and Naccherino Michelangelo, were renowned artists who contributed their talents to bring this vision to life back in 1601. Their expertise shines through every detail captured by photographer Giorgio Sommer from Alinari. As we gaze upon this remarkable print today, it transports us back in time—immersing us into an enchanting world where nature meets human ingenuity amidst breathtaking landscapes.
