EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to the enchanting shores of Elba Island, specifically the picturesque beach of Seccheto. Taken on July 25th, 1930 by the talented photographer Aurelio Monteverde, this image captures a moment of pure joy and relaxation amidst nature's beauty. In this scene, we see a group of individuals enjoying a refreshing bath in the crystal-clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The composition showcases both men and women elegantly dressed in their bathing attire from that era. Their fashionable clothing choices reflect the trends prevalent during that time period, with attention to detail evident in every cap, bonnet, headdress or accessory worn. The landscape surrounding them is nothing short of breathtaking - an idyllic seascape characterized by golden sand merging seamlessly with azure waves stretching as far as the eye can see. The tranquility exuded by this coastal paradise is palpable through Monteverde's lens. As we delve deeper into this photograph, it becomes apparent that swimming was not just a leisurely activity for these individuals; it was also considered a sport. Their synchronized movements showcase their skill and passion for aquatic endeavors. Monteverde's mastery lies not only in capturing people engaged in recreational activities but also immortalizing moments where they are at one with nature. This particular print encapsulates all elements necessary for an unforgettable portrait: stunning scenery combined with human presence harmoniously coexisting within it. Through Alinari's preservation efforts, we are fortunate enough to witness history frozen in time – an everlasting reminder of how fashion intertwines with our surroundings and how humanity seeks solace within nature's embrace.
