EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing firework display known as Girandola at the iconic Castello Sant Angelo in Rome. Dating back to 1579, this nocturnal scene showcases fireworks bursting forth from the castle, illuminating the night sky with a spectacular array of colors and patterns. In the foreground, a vibrant crowd of spectators gathers to witness this awe-inspiring spectacle. The image, captured by Giovanni Ambrogio Brambilla, beautifully encapsulates the grandeur and magnificence of Rome during the 16th century. The etching and engraving technique used adds depth and texture to every detail, enhancing its historical significance. Castello Sant Angelo itself stands as a testament to Roman heritage and fortification. Originally built as a mausoleum for Emperor Hadrian in ancient times, it later served various purposes including a fortress and papal residence. Its strategic location on the banks of River Tiber makes it an integral part of Rome's geography. As you gaze upon this remarkable photograph, you can almost feel yourself transported back in time - immersed in the excitement and energy that filled those nights when Girandola lit up the skies above Castello Sant Angelo. It serves as both a mirror reflecting Rome's rich history and culture while also reminding us of humanity's eternal fascination with light displays that captivate our senses.
