EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Torre delle Milizie, a magnificent brick-built tower that stands as a testament to antiquity and medieval architecture. Etched with precision by Agostino Tofanelli in 1833, this masterpiece is brought to life through the delicate brown wash technique employed by Pietro Fontana. The tower's rich history unfolds before our eyes as we gaze upon its imposing structure. Believed to have been rebuilt in the 13th century by the Caetani family, it later became property of the Conti family. Its significance extends beyond mere bricks and mortar; it symbolizes Rome's enduring legacy. As we explore this streetscene frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when monks roamed these very streets. The tower looms over them like a guardian, reminding us of their spiritual presence amidst bustling Roman life. This engraving is part of Recueil des vues au bister dessinees et lavees par Callimachus, Souvenirs d'antiquites et curiosites de Rome et des environs - a collection that captures the essence of Rome's historical treasures. It serves as both an educational tool for enthusiasts and a window into Italy's past for art lovers worldwide. Now preserved within The Stapleton Collection, this Italian gem continues to inspire awe and admiration centuries after its creation. Let yourself be captivated by its beauty and immerse yourself in the rich tapestry of history woven
