EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "FVQ-F-082026-0000" transports us back to the late 19th century. The image captures a moment from the comedic play "In Pretura" by Ottolenghi, featuring actors Emilio Zago and Salvatore Ardan in their element on stage. The photograph showcases an exquisite movable stage structure that serves as the backdrop for this theatrical production. Its intricate architecture adds depth and grandeur to the scene, creating a visually stunning experience for both performers and audience members alike. Zago and Ardan are seen fully immersed in their roles, dressed in elaborate costumes that reflect the fashion of the era. Their attention to detail is evident not only in their clothing but also in their headdresses, which range from civilian to military or religious styles depending on their characters' roles. Surrounded by a group of fellow actors, this portrait captures the essence of theater - a collaborative art form where individuals come together to create something truly magical. Each person's unique contribution adds depth and authenticity to this lively performance. A bench placed prominently at center stage acts as a focal point within the composition. It symbolizes both rest between scenes and anticipation for what lies ahead – an object that holds significance beyond its physical presence. Although we do not know who specifically captured this momentous occasion, it is clear that they possessed great skill behind the lens. This photograph from Alinari allows us to glimpse into history while appreciating the talent and dedication of these early pioneers of performing arts.
