EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by the renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1925, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Villa Aldobrandini in Frascati, Lazio, Italy. The medieval castle, originally built in the 16th century and later redesigned by Carlo Maderno and Giacomo Della Porta in 1663 and 1667, is a testament to the grandeur of the Baroque era. The image, hand-coloured or hand-tinted, offers a detailed view of the villa's intricate architectural features. The castle's imposing pillars and columns, adorned with intricate designs, stand proudly against the clear blue Italian sky. The villa's grounds, meticulously landscaped with lush greenery and a tranquil fountain, add to the serene beauty of the scene. The photograph also reveals the villa's accessibility, with a grand set of steps leading up to the entrance. The presence of running water in the fountain and the lantern slide's clear image suggest that this photograph was taken during a visit to the villa, possibly as part of Johnston's extensive documentation of historic buildings in Europe. Johnston's photograph of Villa Aldobrandini is a valuable addition to the Library of Congress's collection, offering a glimpse into the rich history and architectural heritage of Italy during the 1920s. The image's intricate details and vibrant colours transport us back in time, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and grandeur of this historic Italian villa.
