EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1962 by Alinari, Fratelli, showcases the timeless beauty of Piazza Vigliena, also known as Quattro Cantoni (four corners), in Palermo. The image perfectly captures the essence of this bustling square with its rich history and architectural grandeur. The scene unfolds on a sunny day, as the vibrant sunlight casts shadows on the terrace of a nearby building. The interior furnishings are visible through an open window, giving a glimpse into the daily life of residents living in this historic neighborhood. The facade of the building is adorned with intricate pilaster strips and decorative elements that speak to its remarkable architecture. In the foreground stands a majestic statue, capturing attention with its imposing presence. This work of art adds an element of grace to the street scene while reflecting Palermo's deep-rooted Christian heritage. As we explore further into the frame, our eyes are drawn towards a view of the city beyond. Shutters line both sides of quaint buildings along an avenue leading away from Piazza Vigliena. It's as if time has stood still here; preserving every detail for us to admire decades later. The overall composition evokes a sense of urban charm and male fashion trends prevalent during that era. The clothing styles worn by passersby hint at their own unique stories within this vibrant cityscape. Alinari masterfully captures not only physical structures but also emotions and narratives within his photographs. This particular print serves as a testament to his talent for immortalizing moments frozen in time – allowing viewers to experience Palermo's allure even after so many years have passed.
