EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of the courtyard of the Archiginnasio (High School) in Bologna. The image showcases a harmonious blend of Mannerism, Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods, reflecting Europe's rich architectural heritage from the first and second millenniums. The focal point of this stunning composition is undoubtedly the belltower with its intricate wrought metal details. Standing tall against a clear sky, it proudly displays its ornate design that epitomizes the skillful craftsmanship of applied arts and crafts. The balustrade adds an elegant touch to the overall aesthetic, while pilasters and porticos frame the scene with their classical charm. The courtyard itself exudes a sense of grandeur and tranquility. Its open gallery invites visitors to explore further into this magnificent structure that once served as a university. Each building element contributes to its majestic presence, creating an atmosphere that speaks volumes about its historical significance. Intriguingly, amidst this architectural marvel stands a watch clock—an instrument representing time itself. This emblematic feature reminds us not only of our own fleeting existence but also serves as a symbol for knowledge-seeking students who once roamed these hallowed halls. Dating back to around 1561, this artwork by Antonio Morandi has been beautifully captured by photographer Brogi Giacomo from Stabilimento fotografico Alinari during the early 20th century (1920-1930 ca. ). Through his lens, he immortalizes every detail—every crest and brand—that tells stories spanning centuries. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph print today, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand how architecture can transcend generations while preserving history within its walls—a testament to human ingenuity and artistic vision throughout different eras.
