EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a timeless piece of cycling history, showcasing the intricate details of a "Clement" track-racing bicycle from 1897. Housed in the esteemed Genazzini Collection in Milan and proudly displayed at the exhibition "Man on two wheels" this remarkable artifact takes us back to an era where pedal power reigned supreme. The focus of this image lies on the pedals and chain, offering a close-up view that highlights both their functional beauty and mechanical complexity. The pedals, meticulously crafted with precision engineering, stand as a testament to the craftsmanship of yesteryears. Meanwhile, the chain serves as a vital link between man and machine, propelling riders forward with every revolution. Dating back to approximately 1980-1990, this photograph by Graziella Pellicci transports us through time while celebrating not only the bicycle itself but also its significance within games and pastimes. Cycling has long been cherished as more than just a sport; it represents freedom on two wheels, an escape from everyday life as riders traverse roads and landscapes alike. With its presence in this exhibition's collection dedicated to scenes and methods of transportation, we are reminded that bicycles have played an integral role in shaping our world's mobility. From weaving through traffic-clogged streets to conquering challenging terrains off-road or even serving as symbols of personal expression – these machines have become woven into our cultural fabric. While avoiding commercial mentions or intentions for use beyond appreciation for artistry captured by Alinari photographer Graziella Pellicci - her lens allows us access into history's wheelhouse: revealing how bicycles like this "Clement" track-racing model continue inspiring awe across generations.
