EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Todi during the Middle Ages. The focal point of this image is the magnificent Scarnabecco fountain, a testament to Romanesque architecture and hydraulic engineering. Commissioned by Scarnabecco dei Fasiani da Bologna, the esteemed podesta of Todi, this grand structure was built in 1241. Standing tall amidst a bustling street scene, it exudes an air of elegance and power. The intricate details on its column and building elements showcase the craftsmanship of that era. Surrounded by terrestrial mammals grazing peacefully nearby, this horse-shaped fountain adds a touch of whimsy to its surroundings. Its presence not only serves as a source of water for both humans and animals but also as a symbol of prosperity and abundance. As we gaze at this photograph captured around 1890, we can't help but marvel at how well-preserved the ancient city appears. From our vantage point, we catch glimpses of Todi's picturesque streets winding through buildings that have stood strong for centuries. The Alinari brothers have masterfully framed this snapshot with their lens, capturing not just an architectural marvel but also providing us with insight into life during medieval Europe. This artwork offers us a window into history—a glimpse into what life might have been like in Todi during the first millennium A. D. , where tradition meets progress. Whether you are an admirer of art or simply fascinated by history, this print invites you to immerse yourself in the beauty and charm that define Todi—a place where past meets present seamlessly across generations.
