EDITORS COMMENTS
MFC-F-000546-0000: Porta San Paolo and the Pyramid of Caius Cestius Epulonius in Rome". Step back in time with this print captured by Brogi in 1933. The image transports us to the heart of ancient Rome, where history and architecture intertwine seamlessly. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the magnificent Pyramid of Caius Cestius Epulonius, standing proudly amidst a backdrop of urban splendor. This non-Christian mausoleum is a testament to the rich funerary traditions that once prevailed in this great city. Its grandeur and intricate structure evoke a sense of awe and reverence for those who have long since passed. Adjacent to this remarkable monument stands Porta San Paolo, an imposing gateway that served as both a military defense point and an entrance into the vibrant city beyond. The sturdy walls surrounding it tell tales of battles fought and victories won throughout centuries past. The bustling square surrounding these architectural marvels comes alive within the frame. A street scene unfolds before our eyes, capturing snippets of daily life during that era - people going about their business, vehicles navigating through narrow streets, all against the backdrop of timeless Roman beauty. This photograph not only captures iconic landmarks but also provides us with a glimpse into everyday life in historic Rome. It serves as a window through which we can appreciate both monumental structures and ordinary moments frozen in time. Brogi's skillful composition allows us to immerse ourselves fully into this enchanting view of Rome - its ancient charm preserved forever on paper. Let yourself be transported back to 1933 as you explore this extraordinary snapshot from Alinari's collection.
