EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a timeless piece of cycling history - a vintage "Bianchi" road racing bicycle from around 1930, adorned with the iconic Vittoria "Margherita" gears. Preserved in the esteemed Genazzini Collection of Milan, this remarkable artifact takes center stage at the renowned exhibition titled "Man on two wheels". In this close-up shot, we are drawn to the intricate details of the chain and pedals that make up this magnificent machine. The chain, like an elegant loom weaving its magic, connects each component with precision and grace. Its metallic links glisten under the light, reflecting years of dedication and countless miles traveled. The pedals stand as a testament to human power and determination. They await their rider's touch, ready to propel them forward on exhilarating adventures along winding roads or bustling city streets. These pedals have witnessed triumphs and challenges alike; they hold stories untold within their sturdy framework. Dating back to approximately 1930 but captured through Graziella Pellicci's lens in the late 20th century (around 1980-1990), this photograph transports us across time into an era where bicycles were not just objects but symbols of freedom and exploration. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our minds wander to those who once rode these very wheels - athletes pushing themselves beyond limits, commuters navigating busy urban landscapes or lovers embarking on romantic escapades together. Beyond being mere transportation devices, bicycles evoke emotions: joyous laughter carried by wind gusts; adrenaline pumping through veins as speed is conquered; solitude found amidst nature's embrace. This image serves as a reminder that while technology may evolve over decades or even centuries – our love affair with two-wheeled wonders remains eternal.
