G. BROGI (1822-1881), Bust of Alessandro, Florence, around 1880, albumen paper print Giacomo Brogi (1822 Florence - 1881 ibid.): Bust of Alessandro Morente, Uffizi Gallery, Florence, c. 1880, albumen paper print Technique: albumen paper print, mounted on Cardboard Inscription: Inscribed below, numbered "3223 Firenze Galleria Uffizi". Date: c. 1880 Description: Giacomo BROGI founded a photography studio in Florence in 1860. This was followed by business establishments in Rome and Naples in 1869. In Florence, he competed with the Alinari brothers and with Giorgio Sommer and Giorgio Conrad in Naples. From 1871 he took part in national and international exhibitions, often winning awards. His sons Carlo and Alfredo worked in the shop, which was taken over by Carlo BROGI after BROGI's death in 1881. BROGI emerged as a co-founder of the Photographic Society of Italy and was one of the most important photographers in 19th century Italy. Original photography with a high level of detail. An early testimony of travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from middle-class circles travelled to Italy. At that time, photographs could only be taken with a great deal of time and expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site to bring back a souvenir from afar for those who stayed at home or to collect as souvenirs. Famous photographers such as Carlo Naya, Giorgio Sommer or the Alinari brothers photographed the most famous sights of their home cities and went on journeys themselves to photograph the most popular destinations of their clients and offer them as albumen prints. Ancient art treasures were also photographed and offered to travellers. The high-quality photographs of sculptures and frescoes continued to make an important contribution to documenting art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on tracings or engravings if they could not view the original for themselves.

Florence. 19th century Inscription: At the lower part inscribed in the printing plate: "No 1862 Firenze_Panorama della Città visto da S. Miniato al Monte". Date: c. 1880 Description: The photograph shows the view of Florence's medieval historic centre with the Duomo, Palazzo delle Signoria, Basilica of Santa Croce and the banks of the River Arno. Original photograph with high detail sharpness. An early example of travel photography. Around the middle of the 19th century, more and more tourists from bourgeois circles travelled to Italy. At that time, photographs could only be taken at great expense in terms of time and with expensive, unwieldy equipment. This made many tourists all the more grateful for the work of the professional photographer's studios on site, so that they could bring back a souvenir from their holiday home or collect them as mementos. Famous photographers such as Carlo Naya, Giorgio Sommer and the Alinari brothers photographed the most famous sights in their home cities and travelled themselves to photograph their customers' favourite destinations and offer them as albumen prints. Ancient art treasures were also photographed and offered to travellers. The high-quality photographs of sculptures and frescoes continued to make an important contribution to documenting the art treasures and making them accessible to scholars from all over Europe, who previously had to rely on copies or engravings if they were unable to view the original themselves. "Fratelli Alinari" in Florence are the oldest surviving photographic company in the world: founded in 1852, a good two decades after the French inventor Joseph Nicéphore Niépce succeeded in capturing an image on a tin plate. The Alinari brothers were Romualdo (1830-1891), Leopoldo (1832-1865) and Guiseppe (1836-1892). Leopoldo began taking photographs during the daguerreotype period and worked for the lithographer Guiseppe Bardi, with whom he founded a joint photographic studio in 1850. In 1854, Leopoldo bought Bardi's shares and, together with his brothers, founded the Fratelli Alinari studio. It became one of the most important Italian studios of the 19th century and later one of the largest photographic archives in the world, which still exists today.
