EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the medieval square of San Gimignano's historical center. The image showcases a group portrait, capturing the essence of life during the Middle Ages in Europe. The scene is set against an impressive backdrop of architectural marvels, with building elements and decorative sections that exemplify the grandeur of this ancient city. The cistern, a hydraulic structure essential for water supply, stands as a testament to the ingenuity of medieval engineering. Amidst this urban landscape, we see individuals from different walks of life coming together for this timeless portrait. Each person is dressed distinctively, showcasing their unique fashion choices and headdresses - be it civilian, military or religious attire. As our eyes wander through the frame, we notice tourists mingling with locals; a reminder that even centuries ago, San Gimignano was already attracting visitors from far and wide. Their fur coats suggest chilly weather or perhaps they were simply fashionable accessories. A fascinating detail catches our attention: two light windows casting soft illumination on one side of the square. This play between light and shadow adds depth to an already enchanting composition. Dating back to approximately 1930 while depicting scenes from 1273 AD when it was created as artwork by Aurelio Monteverde – this photograph serves as both a visual record and an artistic interpretation of history unfolding before our eyes. Alinari has once again preserved an invaluable piece of heritage through their remarkable collection - reminding us how art can transcend time and transport us into distant eras where stories unfold within every frame captured by talented photographers like Monteverde himself.
