EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, captured on the 22nd of March, 1868 by Pietro Bertoja, takes us back in time to witness a significant moment in Italian history. The image showcases a grand dome-crowned building with intricate architectural elements and sections that exude elegance and splendor. In the foreground, we see a bustling square or piazza filled with an urban crowd. People from all walks of life have gathered here, united by their associations with society and politics. This scene reflects the deep-rooted connection between architecture and the social fabric of Italy during this period. The focus of attention lies on a group of individuals carrying an object draped in the national flag. These men are transporting the ashes of Daniele Manin, one of Italy's revered political figures who played a pivotal role in shaping contemporary history subjects such as national revolutions and the Risorgimento movement. As we delve into this photograph's historical context, it becomes evident that it captures not only a physical journey but also symbolizes Italy's collective yearning for independence. The first war for independence (1848-49) had left its mark on the nation's psyche, fueling aspirations for self-rule among its diverse populations and territories. Bertoja masterfully encapsulates this poignant moment where religion intertwines with politics as they converge upon this church tower adorned with Christian symbolism. Through his lens, he immortalizes both tangible structures like porticos and intangible emotions like hope for a better future. This remarkable print serves as an invaluable testament to Italy's rich heritage while reminding us how art can transcend time to tell stories that resonate deeply within our souls.
