Fratelli D'Alessandri - Mosè di Michelangelo - 1860

description

Summary

Italiano: Studio Fratelli D'Alessandri - Il Mosè di Michelangelo. 1860.

English: Fratelli D'Alessandri - Michelangelo's "Moses". 1860.

The constant search for new opportunities to intervene led the D'Alessandri brothers to photograph the papal Zouave camps in 1862 and then, in 1867, on the battlefield of Mentana, where they were among the first in Italy to play the role of true war reporters. Silvio Negro, in one of his works on the history of photography in Rome, notes that the D'Alessandri brothers' studio was undoubtedly the first professional studio to open in the capital; for this reason, Don Antonio, a Catholic priest, had to ask for a special dispensation to practise photography freely, which the ecclesiastical authorities granted him on condition that he did not wear his clerical garb at work.
