EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "View of Turin with a road and, in the background, the Mole Antonelliana" transports us back to mid-20th century Europe. Taken between 1940 and 1950 by renowned photographer Fernando Pasta, it immortalizes an exquisite artwork created by Antonelli Alessandro during the late 19th century. The image showcases a bustling street scene in Turin, Italy. A wide road stretches out before us, lined with elegant buildings that exude architectural grandeur. The urban landscape is dominated by the magnificent presence of the Mole Antonelliana - an iconic symbol of Turin's history and culture. This majestic structure served as an exhibition center at that time but was originally built as a synagogue during the eclectic period of architecture in Europe. As we gaze deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details captured by Pasta's lens. The cityscape is adorned with lush vegetation; trees gracefully frame both sides of the road, providing shade for pedestrians strolling along its path. Pasta masterfully captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of action within this still image. People can be seen going about their daily lives - some leisurely walking down the sidewalk while others hurry past on bicycles or horse-drawn carriages. Their presence adds life and vibrancy to this historic moment. This remarkable photograph serves as a testament to both artistic excellence and historical significance. It allows us to appreciate Turin's rich heritage while marveling at its architectural wonders from different centuries – all through one captivating visual narrative expertly crafted by Fernando Pasta.
