EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Porta Turrita, Castelfranco Veneto" takes us back in time to the year 1940. The image showcases a magnificent fortified tower known as Porta Turrita, located in the enchanting town of Castelfranco Veneto. The architectural details of this medieval structure are truly remarkable. Crenelations adorn its walls, adding both a decorative touch and serving as a military defense feature. Each section of the building is meticulously crafted, showcasing the skill and craftsmanship of its creators. In this scene captured by photographer Fernando Pasta, we see a bicycle parked on the road leading up to Porta Turrita. This method of transportation adds an element of nostalgia to the photograph, reminding us that once upon a time bicycles were commonly used for travel. A road sign stands nearby, indicating that this gateway was not only admired for its historical significance but also served as an important route for travelers passing through by land. It symbolizes the connection between different places and cultures throughout history. Pasta's composition beautifully captures both the grandeur of Porta Turrita and its integration into everyday life. The juxtaposition between ancient architecture and modern means of transportation creates a sense of harmony between past and present. As we gaze at this print from Alinari, we can't help but appreciate how it transports us to another era—a time when fortified towers like Porta Turrita stood tall as symbols of strength and protection. It serves as a reminder that even in our fast-paced world today, there is still beauty to be found in preserving our rich architectural heritage.
