EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the summer of 1897, capturing a thrilling moment during a regatta in Portoferraio, Elba Island. The focus of the image is a majestic Navy boat gracefully gliding through the glistening waters of the Gulf of Portoferraio. Its sails are billowing with pride as it competes against other vessels, showcasing both its impressive military equipment and skilled crew. The scene exudes an air of excitement and camaraderie as sailors clad in their uniforms work diligently to maneuver the ship towards victory. Their dedication to their vocation is evident, reflecting not only their commitment but also highlighting the significance of armed forces and military life during that era. Portoferraio's picturesque landscape serves as a stunning backdrop for this maritime spectacle. The island's rugged beauty harmoniously blends with the vastness of the sea, creating an enchanting seascape that adds depth and dimension to this historic moment frozen in time. Giorgio Roster masterfully captures this scene from a unique perspective by water, allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully into this world. His keen eye for detail ensures that every element - from the intricate armor adorning the ship to each sailor's determined expression - is beautifully preserved within this timeless photograph. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection, we are transported back over a century ago when naval prowess was celebrated on these very shores. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich maritime heritage but also pays homage to those who dedicated their lives to protecting our waters and ensuring our safety at sea.
