EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The Forum, looking towards the Capitol" takes us back in time to ancient Rome. The image, captured by Alberto Pisa (1864-1931), showcases the grandeur of this historic city. In the foreground, we see the ruins of the Roman Forum, once a bustling center of political and social life. The crumbling columns and scattered debris hint at its former glory as a hub for public speeches, elections, and commercial activities. As our gaze moves further into the distance, we are drawn towards the majestic Capitol Hill. Perched atop it is the iconic Capitoline Temple with its distinctive triangular pediment. This architectural masterpiece serves as a reminder of Rome's rich cultural heritage. The photograph was originally commissioned as an illustration for "Rome" a book written by M. A. R Tuker and Hope Malleson around 1900. Its inclusion in this publication aimed to transport readers back in time to experience ancient Rome through vivid imagery. This print not only captures Italy's capital but also represents European history at large. It reminds us of how civilizations rise and fall over time while leaving behind remnants that continue to inspire awe centuries later. With its timeless appeal, this image invites viewers to explore their own connections with history and appreciate both Italian culture and Europe's diverse heritage.
