EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Two Towers of Bologna, Italy, standing proudly against the backdrop of a clear blue sky. Dating back to circa 1904, this image transports us back in time to the early 1900s, showcasing the timeless beauty of this Italian city. The Two Towers, also known as the Asinelli and Garisenda Towers, are two medieval structures that have dominated the Bologna skyline for centuries. The taller Asinelli Tower, on the left, reaches a height of 97.2 meters (319 feet), making it one of the tallest structures in the city. Its distinctive crenellation adds to its impressive silhouette. However, it is the Garisenda Tower, on the right, that steals the show in this photograph. Leaning precariously at an angle of approximately 3.5 degrees, it appears as if it might topple over at any moment. Despite its precarious position, the Garisenda Tower has remained standing since its construction in 1330, a testament to the engineering prowess of the medieval architects. This photograph, taken around the turn of the 20th century, offers a unique perspective of these towers, highlighting their historical significance and the architectural marvel that they represent. The image also provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the rich history and culture of Bologna, Italy.
