EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, titled "Arno Riva in Le Sieci" we are transported back to the enchanting hamlet of Pontefract in Pontassieve, Italy. The year is 1936-1937, and through the lens of Balocchi Vincenzo's camera, we witness a mesmerizing blend of nature and architecture. The focal point of the image is a majestic tree that stands tall amidst lush vegetation. Its branches reach out towards an imposing fortified tower, which exudes an aura of military strength and defensive prowess. This juxtaposition between organic growth and man-made structure creates a fascinating visual contrast. As our gaze wanders beyond the tower, we are greeted by the meandering river courses that grace this picturesque landscape. A small boat gently glides along these tranquil waters, serving as both scene and method of transportation for those who call this place home. The view offered by this photograph allows us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of the countryside surrounding Le Sieci. It captures not only its physical elements but also evokes a sense of serenity and tranquility that one can only find in such idyllic settings. Balocchi Vincenzo's skillful composition invites us to reflect on the harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature. Through his lens, he encapsulates not just a moment frozen in time but also conveys a deeper appreciation for botany, architecture, transportation methods, and even historical fortifications. This remarkable print from Alinari serves as a testament to Vincenzo's artistic vision while offering viewers an opportunity to embark on their own journey into history through its captivating imagery.
