35 Amazing Photochroms of Rome in the 1890s

In the 1890s, Rome was still adjusting to its role as the capital of the newly unified Kingdom of Italy, a transition that had begun with the capture of the city in 1870. The decade was marked by both growth and tension.

Urban development continued, with the city’s infrastructure expanding rapidly. New boulevards, such as Via Nazionale, were constructed, and the area around Termini Station grew into a bustling hub. These modernizing projects, however, often clashed with Rome’s ancient and medieval heritage, leading to debates over how to balance preservation with progress.

Here below is a collection of amazing Photochroms of Rome in the 1890s.
