EuropeanaPhotography project consortium, gathered in Vilnius - 2013
2. STORYTELLING
This Picture dates from 1900-1905 and depicts the staircase of the tower of Arnolfo in Palazzo Vecchio, with a mysterious man walking the stairs. Possibly, this is the mayor of Firenze - the city where the Alinari firm started its activities in 1852.
