Sinossi
“You may have the universe,” composer Giuseppe Verdi once said, “if I can have Italy.” Back in the mid-19th century, Verdi’s emotive language appealed to the patriotic sentiments of an emergent nation state. After decades of struggle and bloodshed, the movement known as Risorgimento triumphed with the 1861 proclamation of Italian Unity, assembling disparate kingdoms, territories, and borders that had hitherto been ruled by Austria, the Kingdom of Sardinia, and the Papal States.
Today, Verdi’s call to Italy resounds not only for its native patriots, but for the millions around the world who look upon this peninsula shaped like a boot and delight in a land of light, art, and sensuality. This collection is a fascinating visual document of Italy at the turn of the century, gathering photochromes and vintage colored prints.
From coast to coast, through classical sites and Renaissance wonders, down beguiling Venetian waterways and along the dappled shores of the Amalfi coast, each evocative image impresses as much for its color clarity as for the vivid evocation of times gone by. As if in an enchanted dream, we walk an empty and dusklit St. Mark’s Square, stroll the shady Uffizi courtyard alone, and find just a few horse carts pulled up in front of the Pantheon in Rome. In place of cameras, guides, and tour groups, we find ordinary traders and laborers, quiet street scenes, and humble settlements. As sunlit charms and historic reality combine, the result is an unrivaled record of this young nation that fought hard to exist, and went on to win the world’s hearts.

Italy 1900. A Portrait in Color

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Gebundene Ausgabe. Condizione: Neu. Neu -Als die Fotografie im 19. Jahrhundert auf den Plan tritt, die Träume verfrorener Nordlichter von Italien als, je nach Perspektive, unsterbliches Kunstland der wiederentdeckten Antike oder glückselige Naturlandschaft zu bebildern, und den Vedutenmaler und das eigene Skizzenbuch ablöst, ist Italien noch ein Agrarstaat. Erst 1861 nach einer Reihe von Aufständen und Kriegen aus einem Patchwork von Fürstentümern und Kleinstaaten zur Nation vereint, tut sich das Land schwer mit der Industrialisierung, die sich weitgehend auf den Großraum Mailand, Turin, Genua beschränkt. Von 30 Millionen Einwohnern sind 1880 etwa gerade einmal 400.000 Industriearbeiter.Die zahlreichen Reisenden aus Frankreich, England, Deutschland oder den USA - der Massentourismus steht gerade im Begriff, das Erbe von Grand Tour und Romantik anzutreten - treffen auf eine Bevölkerung, die noch weitgehend im jahrhundertealten Traditionalismus befangen ist, auf scheinbar unberührte Landschaften wie den malerischen Lago Maggiore mit seiner eindrucksvollen Bergkulisse, die ligurische Küste oder die einsame Campagna und Städte, Venedig, Florenz, Bologna, Mailand, Rom, die seltsam entrückt und traumverloren leer wirken.Wie Reiseberichte aus vergangenen Jahrhunderten laden auch die Aufnahmen in diesem Band zu einer Entdeckungsfahrt durch die Zeit ein. Sie folgen der klassischen Besichtigungsroute kunstbeflissener Italienfahrer\*innen, nehmen aber auch die soziale Wirklichkeit im Schatten der Monumente und Sehenswürdigkeiten in den Blick. Ein historisches Panorama, das nicht nur erklärte Italienfans fesseln wird. 580 pp. Englisch, Französisch, Deutsch. Codice articolo INF1001248626
