EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the bustling atmosphere of Piazza Duomo in Milan during the early 20th century. The square is teeming with people, each going about their daily lives against the backdrop of magnificent architectural wonders. At the center of this lively scene stands a remarkable equestrian monument, a commemoration of Milan's rich history. Crafted between the late 19th and early 20th centuries by artist Ercole Rosa, this monumental sculpture pays homage to Milan's noble past. The horse, adorned with intricate military equipment and armor, symbolizes strength and power. A majestic lion lies at its feet, representing courage. Amidst the crowd on horseback is a distinguished gentleman from nobility. His regal attire reflects both fashion trends of that era and his social status as part of Europe's royal imperial class. With an air of authority, he dons an elegant headdress while holding a sword - perhaps signifying his involvement in military affairs or simply showcasing his refined taste. The photograph itself was taken around 1910 by Brogi from Alinari, capturing a moment frozen in time over a century ago. It offers us a glimpse into Milan's vibrant past when horses were still commonly used for transportation and grand monuments celebrated historical figures. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image today, it serves as a reminder not only of our ever-evolving world but also how certain elements endure throughout time – like Piazza Duomo itself which remains one of Italy's most iconic landmarks to this day.
