EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, captured by Aurelio Monteverde from Alinari, we are transported back in time to the winter of 1927. The scene unfolds at Abetone, a renowned ski resort nestled amidst majestic mountains. As our eyes wander across the landscape, we are immediately struck by the sheer beauty of nature's elements on display. The snow-covered slopes glisten under the soft sunlight, creating a serene and picturesque backdrop for an exhilarating ski race. But what truly steals our attention is the vibrant crowd that has gathered to witness this thrilling event. Their presence adds life and energy to the otherwise tranquil surroundings. This diverse gathering represents a tapestry of associations - friends cheering together, families sharing laughter and excitement, and even strangers bonding over their shared love for winter sports. It is evident that this ski race has brought people from all walks of life together in one harmonious moment. Beyond its recreational significance, this photograph also hints at deeper layers within society and politics during that era. The date itself - January 22nd-23rd - carries historical weight as it falls within a period when Italy was undergoing significant social transformations. As we admire Monteverde's skillful composition capturing both time and season in one frame, we cannot help but be transported into an era long gone yet preserved forever through his lens. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how landscapes can shape our experiences while simultaneously reflecting societal dynamics. While it is impossible to know each individual's story within this crowd attending the ski race at Abetone in 1927, their collective presence immortalized in this image allows us to glimpse into a moment frozen in time – where joyous anticipation meets natural grandeur against a backdrop of history unfolding before them.
