Furthermore, we date the photo by estimation, since it is devoid of information about the year in which it was made. The systematic study of these specimens allowed us to establish a more general panorama about the urban, architectural, landscape and contextual issues, which processed over time in these two cities, especially with regard to transformations, in a period that comprehends from the end of the 18th century to the first half of the twentieth century.
