EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Piazza Corvetto in Genoa, Italy during the late 19th century. The bustling streets of Assarotti and Palestro surround the square, showcasing the vibrant energy of this historic city. In the center of the frame stands a magnificent monument dedicated to Vittorio Emanuele II, a prominent figure in Italian history. This grand statue pays homage to his contributions as King of Italy during its unification process. The photograph was taken around 1895 by Alinari, Fratelli, a renowned photography company known for their exceptional artistry. Their attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this image - from capturing the intricate architecture to highlighting each individual on horseback. The subjects depicted here are dressed in military uniforms and donning fashionable hats and headdresses that were popular during that era. These men exude an air of authority and power as they confidently ride their horses through the square. This print not only serves as a visual representation of Genoa's rich history but also provides insight into European life during the 19th century. It showcases how arts and handicrafts from that time period influenced fashion trends, architectural styles, and even societal norms. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Barzaghi Francesco dating back to 1886, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand how individuals communicated through gestures while riding majestic horses along these ancient streets. Alinari's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both physiological aspects such as age and clothing choices alongside psychological elements like power dynamics within society. This print truly encapsulates an important moment in European history - bridging together past traditions with contemporary aspirations for progress.
