EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Via della Fiumara obstructed from the rubble of demolished houses along the present Lungotevere Cenci Rome" takes us back in time to approximately 1870. The lens of photographer Roesler Franz Ettore captures a scene that tells a powerful story about society, politics, and the history of contemporary nations. In this image, we witness a city in transition. The once bustling Via della Fiumara is now obstructed by heaps of rubble from recently demolished houses. This visual representation of destruction speaks volumes about the architecture, housing conditions, and social poverty prevalent during this era. As our eyes wander through the frame, we notice various elements that provide insight into daily life at that time. A column stands tall amidst the chaos while fragments of buildings' decorations lay scattered around it. These remnants serve as reminders of what once was - symbols frozen in time. The presence of laundry hanging between dilapidated structures adds another layer to this narrative. It hints at ordinary people going about their lives despite challenging circumstances – an intimate glimpse into their resilience and determination. Beyond its immediate context, this photograph invites contemplation on broader themes such as society's treatment towards marginalized populations and territories affected by political upheaval or economic struggles. Roesler Franz Ettore's work here serves not only as a historical document but also as an artistic expression capturing both despair and hope within one frame. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, let us reflect on how far we have come since then while acknowledging how much further there is still to go in creating a more just and equitable world for all.
