EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to a bustling square in Palermo, Italy. Taken on July 4th, 1907 by the talented photographer Aurelio Monteverde, this image captures the essence of urban life during that era. In the center of the square stands an elegant fountain, its water glistening under the warm Italian sun. Surrounding it are various pieces of exterior furnishings for civic spaces - chairs and baskets thoughtfully placed for weary passersby to rest and enjoy their surroundings. The architecture of nearby buildings showcases intricate details that reflect both age and history. The street scene is alive with action as people go about their daily lives. A diverse group of individuals can be seen strolling through the square, each one seemingly lost in their own thoughts or engaged in conversation with others. The view extends beyond the square, offering a glimpse into the cityscape of Palermo itself. One cannot help but notice a small shop nestled among these architectural wonders. Its awning proudly displays its name while movable furniture entices potential customers inside. This commercial structure adds another layer to this vibrant scene, highlighting commerce and trade within this thriving community. Monteverde's photograph not only captures physical objects but also delves into physiological and psychological aspects. It freezes a moment in time where old age meets youthfulness; where tradition intertwines with progress; where human emotions blend seamlessly with architectural beauty. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we are transported back over a century ago to experience firsthand what life was like on that fateful day in Palermo's historic square.
