EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "CAD-S-040005-0015" we are transported back in time to witness a momentous event that unfolded on the 22nd and 23rd of January, 1927. The image captures a breathtaking landscape dominated by majestic mountains, their peaks adorned with a pristine layer of snow. Nature's elements and phenomena come together harmoniously, creating an awe-inspiring scene. But what truly steals the spotlight is the vibrant crowd that has gathered for a thrilling ski race in Abetone. Their presence adds life and energy to the tranquil winter setting. We can almost feel their excitement as they eagerly await the start of the race, bundled up against the cold but undeterred by it. This photograph not only showcases a sporting event but also provides us with glimpses into society and politics of that era. It serves as a reminder of how communal activities like this ski race brought people together, fostering associations among individuals from various walks of life. As we delve deeper into this snapshot frozen in time, we are reminded of how seasons hold significance beyond mere weather changes; they represent different periods in history. Winter symbolizes resilience amidst adversity while simultaneously evoking feelings of nostalgia for days gone by. Captured through Aurelio Monteverde's lens, this print from Alinari encapsulates both beauty and historical context effortlessly. Its timeless appeal transcends generations, allowing us to appreciate not just its aesthetic qualities but also its ability to transport us back to an era long past.
