EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph titled "A furtive rest" captured by the talented Italian photographer Domenico Riccardo Peretti Griva, we are transported back in time to Italy during the years 1925-1935. The image depicts a mysterious male figure taking a momentary respite from his daily activities. Dressed impeccably in fashionable clothing of the era, including a stylish hat that adds an air of sophistication to his ensemble, this gentleman exudes an aura of intrigue. His headdress hints at possible military or religious affiliations, leaving us wondering about his background and role within society. Seated at a table on a bench, surrounded by various objects that add depth and character to the scene, our protagonist appears engaged in conversation with someone unseen. Their verbal rapport is palpable as they exchange words filled with emotion and meaning. The composition of this pictorialist photograph showcases Peretti Griva's artistic prowess as he skillfully captures not only the physical attributes but also the underlying thematic searches within society and politics prevalent during that period. Through this lens, we catch glimpses into the complexities of human interaction and societal dynamics. As we gaze upon this evocative print from Alinari's collection, it invites us to reflect on our own lives - moments stolen away for introspection or clandestine discussions held behind closed doors. It serves as a reminder that even amidst bustling city streets or grand social gatherings, there are hidden narratives waiting to be discovered if one takes the time to observe closely. Peretti Griva's "A furtive rest" transports us across time and space while igniting our curiosity about its enigmatic subject matter. This photograph encapsulates both beauty and mystery – inviting viewers into an intimate world where stories unfold silently yet powerfully before our eyes.
