EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph captured by Domenico Riccardo Peretti Griva, we are transported back in time to the early 20th century. The image portrays two men standing proudly amidst the rugged landscape of a mountain quarry in Piedmont. It is evident that they are immersed in their work, as their weathered faces bear witness to years of laborious extraction of raw materials. The sheer magnitude of the quarry's structure looms behind them, serving as a testament to human determination and industry. The scene exudes an aura of both strength and vulnerability; these men have dedicated themselves to a vocation that demands physical endurance and resilience against nature's forces. As our gaze extends beyond the workers, we are greeted with breathtaking views of majestic mountains stretching into the distance. This juxtaposition between man-made structures and untouched natural beauty highlights humanity's ability to shape its surroundings while remaining humbled by nature's grandeur. The composition captures more than just a moment frozen in time; it encapsulates an entire era defined by hard work, perseverance, and dedication. These two individuals become emblematic figures representing countless others who contributed to building societies through honest labor. Peretti Griva masterfully brings out the essence of his subjects through his lens - their unwavering commitment etched on their faces tells stories untold. Their presence evokes admiration for those who dedicate themselves tirelessly day after day for progress. This remarkable print serves as a reminder not only of our past but also encourages us to reflect on our own roles within society today. It prompts us to appreciate those whose efforts often go unnoticed yet play an essential part in shaping our world – reminding us that every individual has value regardless of societal recognition or commercial gain.
