EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing view of the right bank of the Tiber in Trastevere, Rome, before the construction of the imposing "walls". The photographer, Roesler Franz Ettore from Alinari, skillfully frames this historical moment in time. As our eyes wander through the image, we are greeted by a series of remarkable architectural landmarks that define this enchanting landscape. On the left side stands the complex of San Michele, exuding an air of grandeur and timeless beauty. Its intricate details and majestic presence command attention. Adjacent to it is the bell tower of Santa Maria in the Chapel, reaching for the heavens with its graceful silhouette. This religious structure adds depth and spirituality to an already picturesque scene. Further along our gaze rests upon a towering tobacco factory tower which serves as a testament to industrial progress within this historic district. Its sturdy form juxtaposed against more traditional structures creates an intriguing contrast. Finally, our eyes settle on yet another bell tower belonging to Santa Cecilia's church. Rising proudly amidst its surroundings, it symbolizes faith and devotion within this vibrant community. The date provided for this photograph places us somewhere between 1880-1890 ca. , allowing us to glimpse into a bygone era where life unfolded at a different pace along these river courses. In capturing this panoramic view with precision and artistry, Roesler Franz Ettore invites us to immerse ourselves in both history and beauty simultaneously. This print not only showcases architectural marvels but also evokes emotions tied to religion, charity institutions like San Michele's complex or medical care associated with Santa Cecilia's church. It is through such visual treasures that we can appreciate how landscapes change over time while still preserving their essence—an invitation to reflect on our own place within these ever-evolving cityscapes.
