EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic Ponte Sant'Angelo over the River Tiber, with the iconic Castel Sant'Angelo standing proudly in the background. Located in Rome, Lazio, Italy, this historic landmark is a testament to the city's rich architectural heritage. The Ponte Sant'Angelo, also known as Ponte Aelius or Pons Hadriani, was originally built by Emperor Hadrian in 134 AD as a grand entrance to his mausoleum - now known as Castel Sant'Angelo. This bridge has witnessed centuries of history and has been beautifully preserved throughout time. As you gaze upon this photograph, you can't help but be captivated by the intricate details of both structures. The bridge showcases ten magnificent angel statues sculpted by Bernini and his students during the 17th century. These angels add an ethereal touch to an already enchanting scene. The Castel Sant'Angelo itself is a fortress that has served various purposes throughout its existence - from being a tomb for emperors to becoming a papal residence and even functioning as a prison at one point. Today, it stands tall as a museum where visitors can explore its fascinating history and enjoy breathtaking views of Rome from its terrace. With its vibrant colors and impeccable composition, this print transports you straight into the heart of Rome's captivating architecture and invites you on an unforgettable journey through time.
