EDITORS COMMENTS
First Date (November 1956: Two lonely hearts find solace in the enchanting park of Villa Borghese, Rome. Against the backdrop of a bustling city, their paths intertwine as fate leads them to the Cafe Canova, where love is brewed with a touch of magic. Omero Benfanati, the cafe manager and cupid's accomplice, discreetly aids their quest for companionship by ingeniously hiding tiny photographs within boxes of delectable chocolates sold at his establishment. In this black and white square print, we witness a mesmerizing silhouette capturing the essence of this momentous encounter. The male and female figures stand amidst elegant furniture under the gentle embrace of an ancient tree. Their shadows dance playfully on the ground beneath them, symbolizing both vulnerability and hope. This photograph transports us back to a time when romance bloomed without digital distractions or social media algorithms. It reminds us that true connections can be found in unexpected places – even within chocolate boxes! As we gaze upon this evocative image captured by Enzo Graffeo through his Rollei camera lens, our imagination takes flight. Let yourself be transported to post-war Europe; feel the palpable anticipation as these two souls embark on their first date amidst whispers of possibility. This photo encapsulates not just a fleeting moment frozen in time but also serves as a timeless reminder that love knows no boundaries.
