The Fratelli Alinari photography studio, established in 1852 in Florence, is among the world’s oldest photographic companies. Initially focused on portraiture, the studio soon expanded its repertoire to capture Italy's cultural heritage, architecture, and historical landmarks. The extensive archive of daguerreotypes, albumen prints, and glass negatives produced by Fratelli Alinari during this period has played a crucial role in preserving and documenting Italy's rich artistic and cultural history. A print of the Perugia image in this group is in the Manfred Heiting Collection at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
