EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting Piazza del Leone in Rieti. Taken around 1880, it showcases a magnificent square that exudes both grandeur and tranquility. At the heart of this urban oasis stands a majestic fountain, its waters gracefully cascading into a pristine basin. The fountain itself is an architectural marvel, boasting intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship. Its design seamlessly blends elements of classicism with hints of Renaissance influence, creating a harmonious fusion of styles. The hydraulic structure not only serves as a source of aesthetic pleasure but also provides much-needed respite from the bustling city life. Surrounded by elegant buildings adorned with ornate balconies and arched windows, the square emanates an aura of sophistication. The architecture reflects the rich history and cultural heritage that permeate every corner of Rieti. One can almost imagine strolling through these streets during this bygone era, witnessing horse-drawn carriages passing by while locals engage in animated conversations on benches nearby. The composition captures the essence of Italian piazzas – vibrant meeting places where people gather to socialize, relax, or simply admire their surroundings. This particular photograph encapsulates all these elements flawlessly; it invites us to immerse ourselves in its timeless beauty. Although we may never know who precisely captured this mesmerizing scene over 140 years ago - for it remains credited to an unidentified author from Alinari - we are grateful for their keen eye and skillful execution which allows us to appreciate this snapshot frozen in time today.
