EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the vibrant atmosphere of Rome's ancient Forum of Nerva, circa 1900s. The Colonnacce, or the ruins of the Temple of Pallade, stand proudly in the background, their Corinthian columns adorned with intricate carvings and capitals. The Forum, once the political and economic center of ancient Rome, now serves as a backdrop to the daily life of the city. In the foreground, a cart, upturned and its wheel broken, lies abandoned, the remnants of a recent accident. Oranges, ripe and ready for sale, spill from the cart, their bright colors contrasting sharply with the worn stones of the Forum. Orange sellers, undeterred by the mishap, continue to pick up the fallen fruit and offer it to passersby. The scene is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Rome, who have made this historic site a part of their modern-day livelihood. The photograph, taken in the May of 1900s, offers a glimpse into the past and the present, a reminder of the rich history that continues to thrive in the heart of the Eternal City.
