EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, captured around 1925 by the talented Fernando Pasta, transports us back in time to the enchanting city of Verona. The image showcases the magnificent Colonna del Mercato, standing proudly in Piazza delle Erbe. This iconic structure is a testament to the rich history and architectural marvels that define Europe's Gothic era. The Colonna del Mercato, dating back to 1401, serves as a shrine and tabernacle for locals and visitors alike. Its intricate design reflects the skilled craftsmanship of artists from the Middle Ages. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and connect us with our past. Verona's Piazza delle Erbe comes alive in this photograph as a bustling hub of commerce and trade. The market stalls surrounding the column add vibrancy to an already vibrant square. It is easy to imagine merchants passionately selling their wares while customers eagerly peruse through an array of goods. Pasta masterfully captures not only the grandeur of this historical monument but also its significance within Verona's urban landscape. The juxtaposition between ancient architecture and modern life creates a sense of harmony that is uniquely European. As we delve into every detail presented before us - from each delicate carving on the column to every person going about their daily routine - we are transported into another world entirely. This photograph encapsulates both beauty and nostalgia; it invites us to appreciate not only Verona's remarkable history but also our own place within it. Fernando Pasta has truly immortalized this moment in time through his lens, allowing future generations to experience firsthand what makes Verona so special: its timeless charm wrapped in layers of history spanning over multiple millennia.
