EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the vibrant atmosphere of the Fiera di San Luca, an annual fair that takes place in the month of October. The fairgrounds are located in the picturesque Piazza Buondelmonti all'Impruneta, nestled in the outskirts of Florence. Dating back to approximately 1915-1920, this image by Alinari, Fratelli showcases a bustling scene filled with market stalls and lively activities. The photograph offers a glimpse into the commercial aspect of this event, highlighting various structures and sections dedicated to trade and commerce. The buildings surrounding the square exhibit intricate decorations and architectural elements that add charm to this vibrant setting. A window display catches one's eye with its enticing merchandise, inviting visitors to explore further. As we delve deeper into the image, our attention is drawn towards scenes depicting games and pastimes enjoyed by fairgoers. People can be seen engaging in different forms of entertainment on both footpaths and roads leading to Impruneta. Transportation plays a significant role as well; carts and wheelbarrows are utilized for carrying goods or perhaps providing amusement rides within an enchanting amusement park area. Beyond these fascinating details lies a breathtaking view of the countryside surrounding Florence. This juxtaposition between urban life and nature adds depth to this street scene captured by Alinari's lens. Overall, this remarkable print encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also evokes nostalgia for an era when fairs were grand spectacles where people from all walks of life came together to celebrate community spirit through commerce, entertainment, and joyous festivities.
