The so-called "Great Snowfall" that immobilized Milan for years burying it under a blanket of snow, has also been occasion for many photographers to showcase original images like this one. By skilfully playing with perspective, Carnisio brings out the black of the people crossing a path traced to cross the square, giving the impression that they emerged from the snow.
