Introduction
The photographic work under examination, belonging to the masterful topographical corpus of Giorgio Sommer, represents one of the most brilliant examples of 19th-century European "vedutismo" (view painting/photography). Through this "View of Milan," the author delivers not merely architectural documentation, but a true visual synthesis of Milanese urban identity in the post-unification period.
