EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting city of Saluzzo and its majestic castle, as depicted in Amedeo Peloja's renowned work on military architecture from 1550. The image takes us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the topography and direction of this historic Italian city through an intricately detailed map. As we immerse ourselves in this visual journey, we are guided by the compass and captivated by the landscape that unfolds before our eyes. The architectural marvels of Saluzzo come alive in this horizontal composition, bathed in daylight that accentuates every intricate detail. The surrounding walls stand tall and proud, showcasing their fortified structure which protected this human settlement during times long past. This illustration captures not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the rich history and travel possibilities within these ancient walls. As we explore every brushstroke of this artful creation, it becomes evident that Peloja's expertise lies not only in cartography but also in capturing the essence of built structures with precision and finesse. This non-urban scene transports us to an era where navigational equipment was essential for exploration and discovery. With no people present within its frame, this print invites us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind it as well as ponder upon how life might have unfolded within those very walls centuries ago. It is a remarkable piece of art that allows us to connect with history while igniting our imagination about what once was - making
