EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the early 1910s, showcases the breathtaking view of Piazza del Popolo (Peoples Square) in Rome, Italy, as seen from the Pincio terrace. The central focus of the square is the majestic Egyptian obelisk of Ramesses II, which was originally erected in Heliopolis around 1250 BC. The obelisk, a symbol of ancient Egyptian power and religion, was transported to Rome in 10 BC and has stood proudly in the square since the 15th century. Surrounding the obelisk, the vibrant and bustling Piazza del Popolo comes alive with the energy of the city. The beautiful church of Santa Maria del Popolo, with its iconic dome, can be seen in the background. The church, built between 1472 and 1494, is a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and is renowned for its stunning interior decorations and historical significance. The view from the Pincio terrace offers a unique perspective of the square, allowing visitors to fully appreciate the grandeur of the ancient obelisk and the architectural beauty of the surrounding buildings. This photograph is a testament to the rich history and cultural significance of Rome, a city that continues to captivate and inspire travelers from around the world.
