Gezicht op een Romeinse tunnel in Piedigrotta in Napels c. 1860 - 1880

This stereoscopic photograph, created by Italian photographer Giorgio Sommer around 1860-1880, depicts a view of a Roman tunnel in Piedigrotta, Naples. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, showcases Sommer's skill in capturing the depth and detail of the ancient structure nestled within the natural landscape. The use of stereoscopic photography, popular in the 19th century, creates a three-dimensional effect, inviting viewers to imagine themselves standing at the tunnel's entrance. The image is an important document of historical architecture and the beauty of the Italian landscape.
