EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the early 1900s, capturing the essence of a leisurely day at the beach. The scene depicts "The beach and the 'Balena' bathing establishment" in Viareggio, Lucca, Italy. In the foreground, we see a charming wooden structure known as the "Balena" bathing establishment. This architectural gem stands proudly on the sandy shore, offering respite and comfort to beachgoers seeking relaxation or relief from the sun's rays. Its intricate design showcases both elegance and functionality. As our gaze extends beyond this iconic structure, we are greeted by a picturesque seascape that stretches out into infinity. The vastness of the sea is beautifully contrasted with groups of people strolling along the shoreline or engaging in various games and pastimes. Their clothing reflects fashion trends of that era - long dresses for women and suits for men - adding an air of nostalgia to this timeless image. The landscape itself exudes tranquility; it invites visitors to take part in walking excursions along its pristine shores while enjoying breathtaking views of nature's beauty. The combination of sand dunes, gentle waves crashing against them, and distant sailboats dotting the horizon creates a serene atmosphere that beckons one to unwind. Brogi's masterful composition captures not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions associated with carefree days spent at seaside resorts during this period. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, some things remain constant – like our love for beaches as places where memories are made. This remarkable print allows us to immerse ourselves fully into an era gone by – appreciating both its architectural marvels and natural wonders alike.
