EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-141009-0000" offers a mesmerizing panorama of the Gulf of Naples as seen from the bustling Via Marina Nuova. Captured around 1860 by the talented photographer Giorgio Sommer, this image showcases a vibrant cityscape against the backdrop of an azure sea. On the left side of the frame, we see a row of dilapidated shacks precariously built along the seashore. These humble structures stand in stark contrast to their surroundings, serving as a reminder of both resilience and struggle within this urban landscape. In the distance, rising majestically above it all, stands Castel Sant'Elmo. This medieval castle exudes an air of strength and grandeur while also fulfilling its military and defensive purposes. The composition captures not only architectural elements but also various modes of transportation that were prevalent during that era. A coach can be spotted on the road below, adding movement and action to this street scene frozen in time. As our eyes wander across this panoramic view, we are transported back to 19th-century Naples—a city teeming with life and energy. The riverbanks merge seamlessly with the sea in perfect harmony while buildings dotting the landscape showcase urban development at its finest. Giorgio Sommer's masterful technique allows us to appreciate every intricate detail captured within this photograph—each brick in those shanty houses or every stone forming Castel Sant'Elmo is brought vividly to life. This remarkable piece serves as a window into history—an invitation for us to immerse ourselves in Naples' past glory through its architecture, landscapes, transportation methods, and daily scenes unfolding before our eyes.
