EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the enchanting city of Rome in 1910. The image showcases Mattei Square, a small yet elegant square dedicated to the memory of Muzio Mattei, an Italian nobleman who passed away in 1596. Standing proudly at the heart of this picturesque square is the magnificent Fountain of the Tortoises, a masterpiece created by Landini and Della Porta in 1585. The fountain's intricate design and decorative railings add a touch of grandeur to its surroundings. Its sepia-toned waters flow gracefully, inviting passersby to quench their thirst or simply admire its beauty. This monochrome snapshot captures not only the architectural brilliance but also highlights Italy's rich cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era where artistry flourished and attention to detail was paramount. The print collector Enrico Verdesi has skillfully captured every nuance, allowing us to appreciate both the delicate craftsmanship and timeless allure that define Mattei Square. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to Rome's enduring charm while reminding us of our connection with history. It invites us on a journey through time as we explore one of Italy's most beloved cities and marvel at its architectural treasures like the Turtle Fountain—a symbol of grace and longevity standing strong amidst changing times.
